→My station invented some rain today that didn't really occur, and I want to set it to zero
(Cumulus won't read the data from my station) |

Cumulus calculates rainfall from a counter supplied by the station which keeps increasing as the rain causes the rain gauge to tip. Cumulus remembers the value of that counter at the start of the meteorological day, so that at any time duing the day it can calculate today's rain by subtracting that figure from the current value of the counter. The start of day figure is stored in today.ini as the "Start=" figure, and the current value of the counter is stored in the monthly log files (e.g. jan10log.txt) as the 'total rainfall counter'. See the [[:Category:Log_Files|Log Files]] section of this Wiki for the formats of the files. | Cumulus calculates rainfall from a counter supplied by the station which keeps increasing as the rain causes the rain gauge to tip.

Note that I don't edit the 'total rainfall counter', it would achieve nothing, it's simply a record of the actual counter in the hardware. I would probably also edit all of the other entries for today in jan10log.txt to set their total rainfall today so far values to zero. | Note that I don't edit the 'total rainfall counter', it would achieve nothing, it's simply a record of the actual counter in the hardware.

If the erroneous rainfall didn't occur today, you just need to edit the total for the relevant day in dayfile.txt (and optionally edit the entries in the monthly log file). If it was yesterday, you can also optionally edit yesterday's total in today.ini. | |||
