Change rain gauge resolution and rain display settings for the MeteoHelix® personal weather station
/QUESTION:
How do I change the rain gauge resolution?
Why is the rain display continuously showing rain until the end of day?
ANSWER:
Rain gauge resolution is set in the allMeteo® weather map and portal as in the accompanying screenshot in the settings tab of each weather station. Since the rain gauge resolution is dictated by the rain gauge...usually written on the bottom, the user has the option to use any rain gauge (also known as pluviometer) they like with the MeteoHelix® weather stations.
The MeteoHelix® collects and counts the clicks from the rain gauge output and accumulates them in its memory in a revolving buffer. Each rain event increases the number in the revolving buffer so that no rain is lost if the wireless reception halters. It will always send the correct accumulated rain amount.
To change the allMeteo® portal rain plot display from Cumulative to Event based display so that you can see individual rain storm amounts, go to the Graph Preferences section by clicking on the Preferences in the left menu as shown in the accompanying screenshot.
