That would only leave the second reason stated in the first reply--that > there is a time stamp already newer in my database that has prevented the > catchup from reaching further back than this this newer time stamp.

RPis are prone to time issues, particularly on startup and after power outages, and it’s not unknown for a future dated record to be created. Or it could some other cause/issue.

Data in reports should be updated on the next report cycle. Data in plots depends on the plot aggregate interval used in the plot, plots that include aggregates are only generated every ‘aggregate interval’; current plots re-generate every report cycle, week plots every hour, month every three hours and year every 24 hours. NOAA format reports are a little different, the current month and year reports are updated every report cycle. Historical NOAA format month and year reports are never re-generated. The easiest way to force and update of the NOAA format reports is to delete all of the generated reports, this will cause all NOAA format reports to be re-generated on the next report cycle. A similar approach can be taken with the plots by deleting the generated plot files to force all plots to be re-generated on the next report cycle. > Does dumping the data clear the memory of the data logger or is it still > there as well as now on my dump file? > No, —dump just reads all of the stored archive records and attempts to save them to archive. —clear-memory will clear the logger memory. > Incidentally, should the full paths have been needed to invoke the > wee_device command. > setup.py installs typically require you to be in the directory containing the executable (in this case wee_device) or to use an appropriate path to the executable. Package installs usually don’t require the path as the appropriate directory is added to the PATH environment variable on installation. And we probably don’t help too much as we tend not to mention adding the path when listing commands, probably a bit of assumed knowledge there as well. > Thank you and my apologies for so many questions. > No problems, we’ve all been in your shoes at some time or other.
