Haven't followed all the rain determination from the attachment but it says:
2016-04-07 18:43:06.384 Station type: Davis Vantage Pro2

but you mention:
ive got the davis vantage vue

Do you have the correct station ticked in setting?

Sorry I am unable to understand all the rain amounts in that log. I did notice entries of "rainday start" = 50.2 and "raincounter" = 51.8 along with some other "startup" rain amounts. Again sorry I can't help with this.

However I did notice an entry:
2016-04-07 18:43:56.032 Error at line 42802 of data/Mar16log.txt : startIndex + length cannot exceed length of string.
Parameter name: length

2016-04-07 18:43:56.033 Please edit the file to correct the error
You may want to look in your Mar16log.txt file at line 42802 and see if you can detect an error there.

Looking at the error message in the previous post, I reckon there is either an extra comma on that line, or two lines have been joined together by deletion of a line ending. If you upload your data file to here then somebody could take a look - more than one pair of eyes often leads to quicker solutions :-)
