Are raw rain counts from 1wirereader stored anywhere?
« on: June 19, 2012, 11:27:48 PM »
Hi,
I have just returned from a 7 week trip. During that time there was a massive storm which caused a two day power failure....way longer than my battery back-up for the weather PC lasts. After the power returned a neighbour restarted the weather PC for me.
My problem is that at least 50mm of rain seems to have "gone missing" from WD when compared to my manual rain gauge and others in the area.
The only way I can think of checking this is to compare the raw rain counts stored in the 1-wire rain gauge counter from before the power failure with the current count and see if that agrees with the rain recorded in WD.
Therefore, my question is are the raw rain gauge counts stored anywhere and if so, in which file?
Thank you,
w0mbat

Hi again,
No replies???? If I have asked a stupid question I have no problem at all being told so! Please feel free.
But I would like to be able to correct my WD rain totals before the end of the month.
Thanks
w0mbat

ps Perhaps I can clarify my question.....Are the raw counts recorded on the 1-wire rain gauge counter recorded in any file with the time  and date they occured?

Brian,

I have asimilar request to w0mbat.

i do not have the file mentioned in your reply ( x  wdisplayftp.ini) but I do have wdisplay.ini but the count for both the 1 wire read rain = 1090, and dallas rain count = 4652, yet my actual count is 7600+

My system is purely 1-wire, and has been operational for 2+years. The above mentioned numbers do not update (they are historic)

What have I set up wrong?
