Hi Brian, I have added a funnell collector to my rain gauge theerfore increasing the collection area.
The figure I need to put into WD is .309 however in the rain offset area there is only a % increase & the new gauge tip is set to 1 & cant be changed, is that normal now? Using OS WMR89 if thats any help.
In answer to your original question that you’ve edited out (what’s the second occurrence of tip setting for?), I don’t know! It’s probably a legacy thing. . .
The offset came first and is intended to make small changes to correct perceived inaccuracy of the tip size of a factory gauge (which originates from the station type set up). The other setting is to accommodate a wide range of tip size of a non standard, modified gauge.
ok, so i changed my rain offset to .309 however its not reducing the rainfall by that amt. We just had a little over 1mm rain (as verified by my plastic rainguage) but WD registered it as 4.1mm. I also just did a practice tip of the OS guage & it registered as 1mm on WD.
ANy ideas?
I presume you set “Modified rain gauge new tip (mm)” to 0.309, not the “Rainfall offset (% increase)”?
If so, I don’t know what is wrong. Mine works fine with a 200 mm funnel giving a new tip of 0.25 mm: WD shows 1 mm for every 4 mm shown on the console - with a few rounding problems because rain is shown to 1 d.p.
Hi Brian , thanks for the file, unfortunately i cant install it, i get this message PAKBUSDLL.DLL was not found, i found a post about it earlier but still cant install the new version, any ideas, sorry. BTW the previous version still works, odd
