I needed to erase a faulty rain rate reading that happened during maintenance of my station (72 inches/hr). Question about today.txt. Did I do the edit correctly (see below)? I'm not clear how you indicate no precipitation. I assumed the values were converted to zeroes. I've attached the before and after.

You've set today's high rain rate to zero - is that what you wanted to do?

I am also interested in your help/response. A similar situation happened to me (build 1034) and I've been using the editor and dayfile data to correct month, year, alltime records, etc, but I'm not sure if I have completely erraticated all instances (still shows up in "trends"). Thanks so much for your help..

Which item specifically - rate, accumulated daily total, final daily total... ? If you restart Cumulus, then the graphs are drawn from the data logs (monthly, or dayfile.txt in the case of the daily totals), so that's where you need to look.
