6.2 Rainlogger Setup

The Rainlogger is programmed using the Levelogger Settings Window of
the Levelogger Software. The appearance of the Window when in
communication with a Rainlogger is shown in Fig 6-4.
Setting up and Starting a Rainlogger is a quick and simple process.
Identify the logging session and location in the Project ID and Location
fields. The Sample Mode for the Rainlogger is Linear. Input the
Sample Rate from 5 minutes to 99 hours, and input the Unit (mm or in)
you will be using for rainfall measurement.
Channel 1 will provide the total rainfall depth within the sample
interval. It does so by multiplying the number of tips within the interval
by the tipping bucket's calibration factor. The calibration factor is the
amount of rainfall depth (mm, in) per tip. The calibration factor should
be indicated on a label on the tipping bucket device or in the
manufacturer's documentation. Input the calibration factor in mm or
inches in the Rainfall Cal Constant field.
