Planet Earth Windows Gadget
A little bit off topic, but some of you may be interested in a Gadget I have written that displays the Earth with the correct Sun illumination and gives you your rise/set times. What makes it of more interest here is that can display the global cloud cover which is updated every three hours. If you ...

Re: Changing the rainfall multiplier
The console is showing 49.5mm of rain in the last 24 hours. As Cumulus is showing a more realistic 0.4mm for the sprinkle we had overnight, I would expect the base station to be showing 1.6mm. The rain multiplier in Cumulus is set to 0.25. The only files I have had to edit are "alltime.ini"...

Re: Changing the rainfall multiplier
Yes, the fact that the station has recorded it suggests that the sensor actually sent the data, rather than it being a 'local' corruption between the station and Cumulus. I'm not sure the remote sensor sent the data as it reverts back to the previous value, more a case of it getting corrupted 'in t...

Re: Changing the rainfall multiplier
Here are all the relevant files Steve. I missed the dayfile - I had to edit out the 144mm from that too.
I've noticed that the rain graph actually goes down a bit now - presumably some rounding error as the 'select-a-graph' doesn't show this small dip.

Re: Changing the rainfall multiplier
Steve, I had another odd one this morning. Again after a sensor contact lost, Cumulus registered 144mm of rain in one hit, but then this time reset itself back to 0.4mm. Funny thing is there is nothing spurious in the Mar10log.txt file this time, nor in the diags file! :? The only record of the even...

Re: Changing the rainfall multiplier
Hi Charlie, good thought, but what happened was that the station recorded an erroneous rainfall total that was much lower than the previous reading. Both the base station and Cumulus reset to this lower total, then the reading returned to its correct value, both the base station and Cumulus saw this...

Re: Changing the rainfall multiplier
Thanks Steve, so it looks like one of the data packets from the remote got corrupted somehow and the base station didn't detect it. I would hope the system would perform some sort of checksum checking given the vulnerability of radio data. 
Cheers
Mark

Re: Changing the rainfall multiplier
Here are the log files. A couple of things to note. Cumulus was reporting sensor contact lost from 09:07 to 09:12. At this time the FO got a reading of 14.1 for the rain, then it went back to the previous value of 87.3. Both the base station and Cumulus reset their counters to the spurious low value...

Re: Upload stops
I don't know how Cumulus/Delphi? does it, but lots of other software piggybacks on the Windows (IE) HTTP 'engine'.

The default limit is two connections per server with IE7 or earlier and up to six with IE8 from the client - the WU and PWS are presumably using different servers.

Re: Changing the rainfal multiplier
Steve, I unplugged the rain collector from the transmitter whilst I worked on it. That was on Saturday morning, there has been no rain registered since.
As soon as I get home I'll collect the log files for you.
Thanks
Mark

Changing the rainfall multiplier
I modded my FO rain collector this weekend to 4x the area. In Cumulus I put in a multiplier of 0.25. This morning the frost has melted and I have had what I think is a single bucket tip (from the website graphs). However Cumulus has registered this as 69.6mm of rain! Is there something else I have t...

Re: Will you be moving away from IE?
When I write my Web pages, I only test them in Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome - I am not a 'fan' of Internet Explorer... Seems a bit odd not to test how your site will work for over 50% of your visitors - even if you don't like the browser they use. But that's my opinion. Any hoo, this is runs th...
