Main page rain rate display

On my system*, the main page rain rate values display only for about a second, once or so every minute more or less, returning to 0 for most of the time, even in heavy rain conditions. One must stare at the screen to catch the values. I would suggest that the most recent rain rates be kept displayed for a 5 minute period, updating as calculated by the software. So the rate would go back to zero only after 5 minutes had elapsed since the last rainfall reading was received. I suppose that the amount of ‘holding time’ could be made user selectable as well as 5 minutes may not be appriopriate for all.

Thanks for a great product!

hi
thats interesting…
i know someone from a long time ago who reported the rain rate did not work…and that was with the rain wise station…but it is working, but its resetting back to zero quickly.,…
humm, thats a big clue…
(i.e it not supposed to behave quite like that,
its been a while since it rained much here,i will watch it next time!
good to see some more rain wise users out there.
what do you think of that weather station type?

hi

i have spent all evening on it, and have fixed the rain rate bug
and I have the data logger extraction at start up working great, and I have added lots of new functions to work with the CC-2000 data logger
(see under setup, control panel, data logger setup)
