Cumulus Support

hey all i did bring this up befor about the Cumulus MX and the dais rain is 1mm out every time it rain and i go in Cumulus MX then set the rain to what the weather st says but next time it rong agin

If you zip up the MXdiags folder and attach it (include all the files this time rather than just one) I'll take a look. Please indicate what the console is showing for today's rain and what Cumulus is showing.

hey ok so my davis says 13.2mm and Cumulus MX says 10.4? thank steve

Your rainfall counter at midnight was 68.2 (this is the annual rainfall total on Davis stations)

2016-04-15 00:00:00.448 Midnight rain reset, count = 68.2 time = 00:00

At 18:37 (the end of the latest file) the counter was 78.6

2016-04-15 18:37:00.653 Writing today.ini, LastUpdateTime = 15/04/2016 18:37:00 raindaystart = 68.2 rain counter = 78.6

You've therefore had 10.4 mm of rain today. Those figures come from the console. I don't know why your console apparently gives today's total as 13.2. Do you perhaps have an 'inches' rain gauge, even though you are using millimetres in Cumulus? Do you have a VP2 or a Vue (your forum profile has a Fine Offset)?

I have davis vue mate so what wood u say to do reset the lote

Sorry, I don't know what that means. And you didn't answer my question about what type of rain gauge you have.

I have davis vantage vue is that what u asking lol long day at work

I am asking whether your Vue has a metric or an imperial rain gauge, i.e. does it measure 0.2 mm per tip or 0.01 inches per tip.

Ok I will fund that out mate and let u know just a question do u know where I will find that info out

Sorry, I know very little about the Vue. I would assume that a Vue bought in the UK from a Davis dealer would have a metric gauge, and the Vue would be configured appropriately at the factory. Cumulus is assuming you have a metric gauge.

Hey yh I just look and it has metric tiping

Then you have your console configured incorrectly.

Cumulus thinks you have a metric gauge (which you confirm) and says 10.4 mm of rain has fallen, which is 10.4/0.2 = 52 tips.

The console thinks you have a 0.01 inch rain gauge, so it thinks incorrectly that those 52 tips are 0.52 inches, which is 13.2 mm.

Ok thank u I let u know when I get home thank steve
