Rain

Hi Brian,

I hope you are doing well and enjoy working on your WD software👍

I have a question:
Is it possible to have an option in WD (in cronpakbusnew for example) to have the rain tips read from a totalizing datasource within the .dat file already used for cronpakbusnew?
So i just have to change the Rain_mm source in the dat file to a totalizing rain and set to zero at 00:00

This to prevent missing raintips.

With the kindest regards.

that would be a much better option for you
i,e to use that as the daily rain total

Indeed Brian.
So it is showing the live total rain data on the mainscreen, and still have the rainrates etc.:+1:

With the kindest regards.

Ah, forgot to ask if possible to have the rain total above the mainscreen graph in 2 decimal?

With the kindest regards.

Hi Brian,

Is it something i have to set within WD or does it have to be coded in WD?

With the kindest regards.

it needs to be a code change

i have added option now that the rain is daily rain total
in the campbell scientific setup

Hi Brian,

Thanks alot for coding it in WD.
A question rises: the amount is reset at 00:00:00 in the .dat file automatic.
What happens when WD or the .dat rain source is first at setting it to zero?

With the kindest regards.

i do not think its really going to be too much of a problem
only potential problem will be for yesterday rain
but I can code a solution for that

Hi Brian,

I noticed when select the option to have the rain read from a total value, WD is adding that value to the total rain every second.

With the kindest regards,

I keep an eye on the 00:00:00 rain reset:



The 0.33mm is good, but from yesterday. The 7xxx number was from yesterday constantly adding the 0.33 every second.



I just noticed when i de-select the use rain total in the screen above, it is still adding the amount of rain every second.

With the kindest regards.

Hi Brian,

I hope you are doing ok?
When you have some spare time, is it possible you have a look at this?

With the kindest regards,

Hi Brian,

With the test update the rain total is still not working.
It is adding the total every second.

Example:

Rain total is 1.50mm, WD is updating every second the raintotal with 1.50mm

With the kindest regards

Hi Brian,

Can you have a look at this please :smiley:

With the kindest regards.

the best thing is to email me your settings files and the raw data file used by WD to get /convert the data
and I will see if I duplicate the problem (by changing the rain amount in the raw data) and see I can fix it for you

Ok, ill try to send it to you now :smiley:

Files send👍

With the kindest regards,

Mark

this looks to have been resolved
