Hello

What figures/files do I need to ammend to take out the rain error caused by some bird using my rain guage as a perch. I have changed errors in the past but its been a while since I have done it. I just need to take out the problem data.

Regards

Dave

Cheers got it sorted now, but in my records its still coming up with the error as all time daily high rain rate, how do you get that back to what it was, without knowing what it was??

Update*** Just used the values from the backup file when I upgraded to new version 1.9.0

I did have a laugh at imagining you troll through all the data looking for it, but I did find a file in my cumulus install directory called alltimelog.txt this might have the information you are looking for, but I think it is generated by CumulusToolbox so if you are not running CumulusToolbox that option is not there.

I guess you could always use Select-A-Graph and display 6 months at a time to narrow down when it would have occurred.
That would work I'd reckon.

Good Luck!

I know, just glad I always save a copy of every file/folder from the installation directory before I update to a newer version.

The alltimelog.txt file is maintained by Cumulus, specifically for the purpose of reverting to a previous all-time record when something goes awry: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Alltimelog.txt
