Calibrating Davis VP2 rain gauge

Just follow the calculation posted by N7XSQ at the start of this thread to get the volume in ml for 1 cm of rain, and then divide that amount by 5 or 10. But you won’t get a reliable result with such a small amount of water, you need to put enough water through the gauge for maybe a hundred tips / 1 inch / 2.5 cm and average the result.
