[actual_rain0_total_mm] does not match other tags

Post by EmjayNet »

Hi Guys,

On my system the following tags do not match up:

[actual_rain0_total_mm] = 27.2

[month1_rain0_total_mm] = 27.40

[year1_rain0_total_mm] 27.40

Had a look at a few website of members here no else seems to have this problem from what I can tell.

Is there any way I can manually fix it, as a recompute did not do anything.

I thought of manually adding a rain record to the raw file and recompute but surely that will add to all the values leaving the same result!

OK done a bit more checking because I assumed that the problem happened when MH was offline whilst I made a new card up, and then when I plugged it back in it got the missing data from the davis logger.

So today the values are:

[actual_rain0_total_mm] 27.4

[month1_rain0_total_mm] 27.60

[year1_rain0_total_mm] 27.60

The VP2 console reports 27.4
And last entry in raw file is: 20120117085148 rain0 0 0 274

So 27.4 is the correct value. Not 27.6

I'm assuming that:
[year1_rain0_total_mm] comes form hist-year1,
[month1_rain0_total_mm] comes from hist-month1

Both these have the wrong value of 27.60 for rain0

So my question is; that if I stop logging and amend these values that restart logging, will this correct the difference in the values?
Will that stay corrected even if I do a recompute?

you can adjust it by setting an offset via calibration on sensor pages. But .2 mm is nothing, so I can hardly see that you have any true evidence to do that ;-)
