Question about rain on WMR200

Hi,
the value of the column "Rainfall counter" of the monthly data log file matches the value "ACCUM since" on the WMR200 console.
If I reset the values of the rain on the console, the value of that column of the log file is also reset.
Can I safely reset the rain on the console?
Thanks

Cumulus uses that increasing counter to track the rainfall.

If you reset the counter, then Cumulus should detect a "large" change in the counter. After three consecutive reads from the station with the new value, Cumulus should reset itself and take account of the new counter values.

Ok, but the monthly and annual rainfall don't reset in Cumulus, I hope...

No, all the Cumulus counts will continue as before.

It's best to avoid resetting the counter though.
