New Detailed Rain Chart query

Hi Windy

I just installed the latest .zip and mine looks ok - except that day 31 is missing.

Best regards,

Henrik


Hennik,

Thanks
ps
its sunday here and an early summers day
off to do some surfing, as I would like a few hours off

Hopefully a better screen grab…still shows total rain when none was recorded.


Hi Windy

Installed latest .zip and now my totals are correct.

But day 31 is still missing.

Have a nice day at the beach - I wish it was me going to the beutiful beaches in NZ. I still remember the black sand beach near New Plymouth (I think it was around Waitara?)

Best regards,

Henrik

Actually, the last day of each month. And yes, the totals are correct now.

Latest version installed, did some checking and I had .01" rain on the 31st. So the rain chart appears to be correct even though it isn’t showing the 31st day on the months…

days 31’s work Ok for me
but I use 9am reset
so that is the difference
i will try and get working with midnight reset in use

(build 11) Still not having any joy with the month totals, Nov is still showing Oct total, what does “Rain Days” refer to, is that the no of days it rained that month, if so thats also wrong


must have been a problem with my download, things looking a bit better now, except for the 0.4mm total for Dec which just happens to be the amount of rain we have had to date today is that just a coincidence


you most likely have for what ever a reason a total entered for Dec 2007 in the view, rain chart
set that to 0

I got some funnies with the data aswell, but I think it is more my end than anything else.

Re testing, I guess it can be better but who is going to do it? Every WD version I download I consider to be a beta version, simply because brian is turning around the coding so fast that I think that detailed testing cannot be done in that time. Appart from testing the bit that is changed.

Perhaps it is an idea to have WD production version and a WD beta version so the more experienced among us can test that version before it goes up for “kids” like myself.

Just a thought.

On the other hand I noticed that WD is not really that good with totals. For example take the wind hours/energy graph. The totals for Today do not add up to a full 24hrs. But that is off topic atm.

in testing here , with my data, I am not able to reproduce the problems you are seeing Kelvinraz

Itfarmer, how about starting a new thread on the problem you see?

Thanks Brian, there was a .4mm in Dec, couldn’t see it on the chart not sure where that came from.
about the other query, what does the line in totals “Rain days” refer to. is it the No of days it rained in that particular month. because those totals dont match

the rain days now uses the threshold for days with no rain, that kelvinraz requested it uses
but I forgot to divide that threshold by 10
which explains the problem
I will fix that

new update to fix the rain days problem after utilising the threshold:

I just need someone with a midnight reset data file, e.g octobers, i.e month102007.inf, to kindly .zip and email me that so I can fix the day 31 problem with midnight reset
thanks!

Email with zip sent.

thanks Jim
I have the day 31 working now for midnight reset
build 12 will be ready soon :slight_smile:
(my internet connection is a bit spotty at the moment though)

Brian,
Slightly off topic, but while you are working on the new rain chart - will there be a way to upload the chart via Internet File Creation & Uploads?

I really like this chart - thanks!
