Option to specify rain collector model for Davis stations

[Werk_AG]

Option to specify rain collector model for Davis stations for situations where the Davis DLL is unable to read it from station, and your rain figures in Cumulus are incorrect as a result (can happen when using Virtual VP, for example).

To use it, with Cumulus stopped, add a line to the [Station] section of cumulus.ini:

DavisRainCollectorModel=X

where X is an integer from 0 to 5 with the following meaning:

0 - 0.1 inch
1 - 0.01 inch
2 - 0.2 mm
3 - 1 mm
4 - 'other' inch
5 - 'other' mm

If I chose option 4 or 5, how to specify the "other" inch or mm value? It is possible?

Thanks

That's the only setting. I don't know what effect the 'other' values have, it's not documented.

If I was reading that in a technical manual I would put '0.001' inch or '0.12' mm but that is only my interpretation!!
