Reset 1 hour rain rate

[PrivatePilot]

I did some maintenance on my sensors earlier today.  In an effort to avoid any issues with false data I shut down WC, unplugged the USB cable between the console and my Mac, removed the batteries and unplugged the power from the base, and THEN went outside to the sensors.   

After doing the maintenance and replacing batteries and such, I powered up everything (outside to begin with) and then restarted the console and returned everything inside to service.

Within minutes WC registered a rain rate of 248.92mm/hour for approx 2 hours after I powered up the base again...so despite my efforts SOMETHING went wrong and it picked up (apparently?) bad data from the rain gauge.   Curiously enough it doesn't show any data for "Daily rain" (mm/day).

It's currently raining outside now and my main issue (aside from bad data apparently) is that the scale on mm/hour rain rate is now skewed so high that the few mm/hour we're actually getting right now (or will for the next 7 days until this bad data clears the graph) means that nothing is going to actually register on the graphs as the amounts are too small.

Is there a way for me to clear this somehow so the graph at least displays properly again?

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes. Quit WC and use a 'proper' Text editor such as TextWrangler to edit the ../Library/WeatherCatData/Location1/2014/5_WeatherCatData.cat file (your path may be slightly different). Correct all false data here (I typically insert temp and Hum values from just before or after the error event) and don't forget to delete the .hrs file in the same folder.

Close and restart WC. Things should be back to normal now.

Good luck!
