Title: DAILYRAIN vs. rain storm defined?
Post by: KeithC on May 02, 2013, 10:58:35 PM

Hello all.

What is the proper tag to display today's rain amount as it accumulates from midnight to midnight, then zeroes out at midnight?

The tag I have in place now is RS$. Is that the right one? Where do I find specific definitions of tags like that, because the tags page in the manual does not cover such details? I know I missed it somewhere. I didn't see anything searching this forum either.

Please help.

Hi Keith

I use the tags from the individual stats. The definitions are from page 170 onwards in the manual.

For example:

      This year:</b> STAT$RAIN:TOTAL:THISYEAR$
      This month: STAT$RAIN:TOTAL:THISMONTH$
      This week:  STAT$RAIN:TOTAL:THISWEEK$
      Yesterday: STAT$RAIN:TOTAL:YESTERDAY$
      Rain since 9 a.m: STAT$RAIN:TOTAL:TODAYSINCE9$
      Today:  STAT$RAIN:TOTAL:TODAY$

Hope this helps.

JC

Thanks JC!

Well, therein lies my problem: I don't have a page 170 onward in my manual that came with distribution. Mine only goes to page 167. My manual has very broad definitions of tags, but no specifics - like "so-and-so tag will reset to zero at midnight", etc.

Your STAT$RAIN:TOTAL:TODAY$ tag looks like it fits my needs, though, thank you very much! Does it reset to zero at midnight?

Hi Keith

Yes, the TODAY tag resets to zero at midnight.

Be aware that whilst that page is the ultimate reference (as it's live) - it's typically being generated by a development build and some tags on that page may not be publicly available yet. For example anything marked with V1.2.0 at the moment.

Typically a tag on that page will be marked with the earliest released version that can generate the tag if it wasn't available in V1.0.0.

Cheers,
Stu.
