help WMRS200 Raingouge

Post by meteoliri »

good evening,
I have recently encountered problems with the rain gauge of wmrs200.
The cumulus software only records the rain rate and no longer records the cumulative daily. What should I do?
Until a month ago it worked properly.
Sorry for the English.
greetings

Turn on the debug log when it's raining. When your station has recorded another rain tip, wait 2 minutes, then zip up the diags folder and attach it, along with the debug.log file.

You don't appear to have turned the debug log on at the appropriate time (or not left it on for long enough), as there is very little in there. But as it turns out, it doesn't matter.

Cumulus did record rain a few minutes after midnight:

30/06/2013 00.13.00.703 . Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 30/06/2013 0.13.00 raindaystart = 68,3260040283203 rain counter = 68,3260040283203
30/06/2013 00.14.00.796 . Error reading SRsunshine.dat: The specified file was not found
30/06/2013 00.14.01.171 . Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 30/06/2013 0.14.00 raindaystart = 68,3260040283203 rain counter = 70,6119995117188

The rain counter went up by 2.3 mm. If you are saying that wasn't reflected on your Cumulus display, then I am afraid I have no idea why not.

It also recorded rain for yesterday:

30/06/2013 00.00.00.437 . === Day reset for 29/06/2013
30/06/2013 00.00.00.437 . NOAA reports will be uploaded at next web update
30/06/2013 00.00.00.437 . Raintotal = 68,3260040283203 Raindaystart = 23,7607879638672
30/06/2013 00.00.00.437 . Rainyesterday (calibrated) set to 8,19999980926514
30/06/2013 00.00.00.437 . RainDayThreshold = -1
30/06/2013 00.00.00.437 . rdt1000=200 ry1000=8200
30/06/2013 00.00.00.437 . Yesterday was a rain day
30/06/2013 00.00.00.437 . Consecutive rain days = 1

Does that not appear on the main screen either?

If this is your web site - http://www.meteoliri.it/ - it is currently showing 0.4mm of rain for today

and 8.2 mm for yesterday:

Ok, grazie di tutto...
la pioggia di ieri (8,2mm) l'ho dovuta correggere a mano, come quelle dei giorni scorsi.
Questa notte non so cosa sia accaduto, ma pare funzionare bene ora.
Ho anche provato a installare un nuovo cumulus, ma non funzionava lo stesso.
Comunque, oggi sembra ri-funzionare. Cosa è successo?
Si, il sito è www.meteoliri.it.

Ok, thanks for everything ...
yesterday's rain (8.2 mm) I had to fix by hand, like those of the past few days.
Tonight I do not know what happened, but it seems to work fine now.
I even tried to install a new cumulus, but it did not work the same.
However, today it seems to re-run. What has happened?
Yes, the site is www.meteoliri.it.

The rainfall counter in your station appears to have reset itself yesterday; it was previously at about 11444:

29/06/2013 18.49.02.500 . Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 29/06/2013 18.49.02 raindaystart = 11399,658203125 rain counter = 11444,2236328125

You then closed Cumulus, and when you started it up some time later, it was at about 68:

29/06/2013 20.15.00.656 . Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 29/06/2013 20.15.00 raindaystart = 23,7607879638672 rain counter = 68,3260040283203

It had been at the 11444 value since at least 19th June:

19/06/2013 00.04.00.663 . Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 19/06/2013 0.04.00 raindaystart = 11444,2236328125 rain counter = 11444,2236328125

You edited the daily rain total on 25th June, but the counter was still the same, i.e. the station was saying that no rain had fallen:

25/06/2013 19.12.00.578 . Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 25/06/2013 19.12.00 raindaystart = 11444,2236328125 rain counter = 11444,2236328125
25/06/2013 19.12.24.187 . Rain Edit Open: C=11444,224 S=11444,224 M=0,184T=0,000
25/06/2013 19.12.46.406 . Rain Edit Apply: C=11444,224 S=11437,158 M=0,184T=1,300
25/06/2013 19.12.50.234 . Rain Edit Close: C=11444,224 S=11437,158 M=0,184T=1,300
25/06/2013 19.13.00.296 . Error reading SRsunshine.dat: The specified file was not found
25/06/2013 19.13.00.671 . Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 25/06/2013 19.13.00 raindaystart = 11437,158203125 rain counter = 11444,2236328125

Cumulus can only record accurate rainfall if the rain counter supplied by the station is correct.

Il giorno 19 c'è stata una forte precipitazione a oltre 180mmh. Da lì sono iniziati i problemi. Infatti la stazione meteo aveva comunicato un valore pioggia di oltre 223mm in 2 minuti... mandando in tilt il software.
Ok, ora ho capito il problema. Da oggi Cumulus si è allineato con i valori della pioggia. Credevo ad un problema del pluviometro e stavo per comprarne un'altro. Molto bene.

Ok, now I understand the problem. From today Cumulus has aligned itself with the values ​​of the rain. I thought the rain gauge to a problem and I was going to buy another one. Very well.
