We dont have a topic for dumb moves so here it goes (was either here or OS) My station made it through my 4 day vacation. This morning at work I noticed GR3 and vws stopped about 12:30am... MS xp catastrophic error. So I had my helper restart vws. Com port error. Nothing. Came home early. Noticed low battery on console, even though my gut said to check plug, I start replacing batteries one at a time. BEEP. notice wall plug kicked out, finished with batteries. So now my ytd rain is fubar'd. Guess I will offset. Dumb move on my part. I wish OS (and all stations) had a way to manually set rain (like baro). Oh well. user error  Andrew |

Any tricks to doing offset so it does not fubar uploads like cwop and wu? Turn them off, do it on a non rainy daily then edit the db/dat files? Any suggestions would be welcome. I need to add 535mm's.
Thanks
Andrew

If you're talking about entering the offset in the console, maybe just before Zulu Changeover. But there will still be a jump b/w current Z. Or, just add a mm here...a mm there. None will notice.  |

Thanks Lee.
I ended up doing it Friday night. I turned off vwsaprs, put in the offset. It uploaded a massive rain rate to WU. I deleted that entry (not thinking that would work). I played around with total rain, etc in VWS. In the end worked pretty good. Left VWS off till the hourly rate dropped to zero. Then started everything back up.
Looks pretty good.
Any the primary reason for all this (plug fell out batteries got low) messed up my data pretty good. Even though comms are not supposed to work on just batter power for the console it sent data, but once the backup batteries got low, the data started getting wonky. So messed up my data and cwop pretty good on temp/baro for a few days. Oh well. The long term stats will wipe out the anomolies pretty quick.
