'Yesterday' Rainfall bug

[beteljuice]

Hi Steve:

As you know I use a big rain collector (multiplier set to 0.10).

I've only just noticed that the multiplier is NOT being applied to the 'yesterday' rainfall figures on:

• The initial console screen
  <#webtag>
  realtime.txt

However:

• Graphs (various)
  extremes
  month total

Appear to be OK !

Oh good, another bug with my favourite feature, the multipliers.

I've had a quick look and it seems to be a bit of a mess. It appears that, depending on the circumstances, sometimes the multiplier is applied correctly to yesterday's rain, sometimes it isn't applied at all, and sometimes it's applied twice. I'll have to have a longer look at it and sort it all out, but not just now as I'm not feeling too well.

No probs - In your own time Steve.

If you're not feeling well, take a break mate

Actually, now I've looked at it in more detail, it seems to me that the bug is simply that the multiplier gets applied twice to the value displayed on the main screen (and hence in the web tag and realtime.txt, which get their value from the main screen).

Does this not match what you're seeing?

[beteljuice]

No !

For those values the multiplier appears not to have been applied at all !

The graph being the 'correct' value.

I doin't understand. You say the graph shows the correct value (which I'd expect as that has nothing - internally - to do with the 'yesterday' data), and the main display shows 0.7 for the yesterday total. Your multiplier is 0.1, so it looks to me like the multiplier has been applied twice - presumably your gauge thinks it has recorded 65 (ish) mm, the 0.1 multiplier is then applied to make the correct value of 6.5 (ish) and then the bug is that the multiplier is then applied twice to give 0.7 (ish).

[beteljuice]

Dooh, fuzzy thinking, of course the multiplier is a fraction, which also happens to be 0.1

So the numbers stay the same, but the dec pt has been shifted and then shifted again.

I'm glad you're awake

Edit: The beteljuice must have beeen having a bad bald day when he dognosed the problem, his brain (?) was forgetting the multiplier was actually dividing his 'overlarge' collector data !

humble apologies ...

[steve]

OK. Fix on its way.

Build 818 should fix:
