Yes, well that sort of thing. I'm just trying to emulate what Davis have done in their weather stations, and Davis seem to know a thing or two, so it seems like a reasonable thing to do.dane wrote:I think I understand what you are trying to do.
And I think my problem is basically the "mm/hour" annotation when what we are really talking about is "tips per station interval". (48 secs)
So the "rainfall rate" on the main display is your sliding average of no. of tips over some (?) period?
And the "All time high rain rate" is basically "highest no. of tips in one station interval"?
Displaying rain rate in mm/hr (or in/hr) seems to be standard. It's a rate, after all. Rates don't give any information about the length of time they apply to. If I told you I drove my car at 100 mph yesterday, there's no implication that I drove at that speed for an entire hour, nor even that I drove for more than 5 minutes.If so, I'd very much prefer to see something like: "All time high rain rate: 0.3 mm in 48 seconds" rather than "22.5 mm per hour" - giving the impression that it rained heavily for a whole hour!
The station updates at 48 second intervals, the address changes according to what you've set the station logger interval to.You know when the station updates (new buffer address), so picking up the no. of tips per interval should be no problem?
