Bad rainfall
Posted: Wed 26 Apr 2017 3:00 pm
Hi all,
I've recently experienced a bad rainfall recording - details:
1) running Cumulus MX 3.0.0 b3043 on Windows 10 pc
2) weather station is Davis Vantage Pro 2
3) rainfall chart shows spike (2.48") between 18:20 and 18:25 for Tues April 25, 2017
4) 20170421-094145.txt file shows corresponding entry:
2017-04-25 18:19:44.183 ****Rain reset? First chance: raindaystart = 2.46, Raincounter = 0
2017-04-25 18:19:44.183 Leaving counter at 2.47
5) dayfile - total rain for 25/04/17 missed .09" actual measured precip (2.48 to 2.57" on rainfall chart)
6) other MxDiag files contain multiple rain reset entries but do not result in bad total rain figure
I've zipped up and enclosed my \cumulus\MxDiags file.
Any ideas? Also, is there a way to chart/graph older (than 24 hrs) data with cumulusMx?
Thanks for your help,
Dave
