Anyone an idea why this graph (Snowdepth) is not beginning at 0 ("Zero") as all the other parameters do? Why is it going down to -10 while the other parameters accept 0?

Dear Reinhard and WeatherCat troubleshooters,
Anyone an idea why this graph (Snowdepth) is not beginning at 0 ("Zero") as all the other parameters do? Why is it going down to -10 while the other parameters accept 0?
Snow isn't anything I know about, so I'll just have to make some guesses. The first thing I would double-check is that the data is in fact 0. Is there any chance that your automated snow measuring system is not working properly?
Let us know . . . .
Cheers, Edouard

My first thought was to check the "minimum" value for the "Scaling" settings. Alas, there aren't scale settings for graphs, only for gauges. [blush] It would be interesting to see what values are being 'seen' by WC. [WCSmall]

Thanks for looking into this thread.
The value is from a synthetic channel that is is turned OFF during the summer (no snow... ;) ). So it should return a Zero, the graph does already show the zero-line, but I do not understand why the graph goes below zero? I am counting on the next version of WeatherCat, maybe there is a "minimum" available also fro graphs.
PS: An idea is to turn the channel ON and force it to return "0" - I will see what the graph will do then. [computer]

Let us know how that turns out.

That might be your explanation right there. Disabling a synthetic channel might leave the WeatherCat graphing function in a state of limbo.

I would expect this would solve you problem but by all means let us know.

Blick, Edouard and all others interested in this "graph-issue",
turned the channel on and forced it to return "0" - ohh yeah, graph is not showing values below zero any more. ThU32:-) So I do have the wanted flatliner showing zero during the summer. :)
Update: Spoke too soon - back to the range of +10 to -10 :'(

Give WeatherCat a day of nothing but zero values. WeatherCat might be setting the scales consistent with the earlier "data." It might take a day of perfectly consistent data for WeatherCat to eliminate anything scale below 0.

That is exactly the pint, but in the other way: I have two graphs, one for 24 hours, the other for 7 days. As long there is one single value above 0 (for example 0.1 or more) then the graph scales from "0" onwards. But if there is a continuous "0" within 24 hours (respectively within 7 days) it scales betweeen negative 10 to positive 10. The graph does not show wrong, but at least it is not nice to view. ???

Okay, now I understand. I think this is a matter that you'll have to touch base with Stu when he comes back up for air once more.
