1.5 Total Rainfall

The Solinst Rainlogger is designed to count the tips of an external tipping-bucket
rain gauge within a user defined sample interval and output the total rainfall over
that sample interval. The Rainlogger can store 40,000 readings. The Rainlogger
is designed to be compatible with the Solinst Levelogger series of products. The
Rainlogger is programmed and data viewed and exported using the Levelogger
Software from a PC, it can be communicated with using a Leveloader and can
be integrated into an STS Telemetry System.

1.6 Backwards Compatibility

The Levelogger Gold and the Software Versions 3.4.0 or higher are backward
compatible, with limitations.
Leveloader I, Leveloader II, a Protocol Converter, or a first generation STS
or RRL Telemetry System, the datalogger must be programmed with the old
Levelogger Version 2.0.3 Software. Programming Levelogger Gold loggers
using Version 2.0.3 Software limits the capabilities of the Gold unit, to be the
same as the older stainless steel Levelogger units. If the user has a mix of
Levelogger Gold and older units, they can use the Levelogger Gold Version 3.1.1
Software to program and read all the dataloggers. They will get the accuracy
and features inherent in the older stainless steel Leveloggers, but will obtain the
higher accuracy and enhanced features and functions of the Levelogger Gold
dataloggers.
The LT Levelogger Junior is only compatible with Software Version 3.2.1 and
higher, the LTC Levelogger Junior only is compatible with Version 3.3.0 and
higher, and the Rainlogger is only compatible with Software Version 3.2.2 and
higher.
