rainfall offset.

EDITED: I misread your original post as having an original tip size of 0.001 inches!
I don't think so You don't say which station you have. But if the station is expecting 0.01 in per tip, but it is now registering 1 mm per tip (are you *really* sure it is 1 mm, not 0.1 mm?), Then ideally you need to do the correction in the station itself. Or at least some of the correction.
If all the correction is being done in CMX, then the multiplier would be 3.937008.
In this part of the world a 1mm per tip sensor would not register any rain on many days it rained less than 1 mm.

That is the new tipper is almost 40x less sensitive than the one you had before!

OK, if it is using the usual OS rain gauge then I believe it is actually 0.04 inches per tip not 1 mm.
So, the multiplier should be 4.0 exactly (as posted above by @Mattk)

So, does that mean if you get 0.03" of rain, nothing is displayed, and then rain is displayed in only 0.04" increments after that? :???:
