The 'MaxRainFall' Channel does not require any setup or user input. The
readings are of maximum 5 minute peak intensity within a minimum 15 minute
sampling interval. This rainfall intensity value is derived by subdividing the sample
interval into 5 minute sub-intervals and temporarily recording the number of
tips in each 5 minute sub-interval. The Peak intensity reading is calculated by
multiplying the number of tips in the 5 minute interval with the largest number
of tips by 12 and presenting peak intensity/hr.
After the user has setup the Rainlogger, click the
