WD is incorrectly counting the rain

(1/3) > >>

Bashy:
Hi Brian, WD is counting the rain wrong, console and WLL match up ok

example, WD said 10.7mm whereas the console and WLL both said 8.4mm

I cannot find anything in WD that would account for this, I've not had a modified rain gauge
since I got the Davis, therefore there is no offset and modified rain is set to 1.0, that's always
been like that.

I don't see anything in the debug regarding rain either.
I few minutes ago I synced wd to the console at 20.2mm, console and WLL are now at 20.6 and
WD is now at 20.7mm

Any ideas please, I don't remember any issues when the Envoy was in play...

galfert:
My guess is that the issue arises from rounding of unit conversion.

Does your Davis station use a metric or imperial rain gauge?

Bashy:
Hi, it's using metric, mm

waiukuweather:
 make sure you have the correct rain gauge collector (tip) set up correctly on the WLL I would suggest

you can though also set in WD to use the console rain total instead

Bashy:
Hi Brian, I'd set it to 0.2mm in station setup in wd, it used to be set to that, but when I go back in there at a later time, the box is unticked. Its setup in WLL as mm.

I have now set it to use console and that worked straight away, thank you.
