FAQ: Difference between revisions

The monthly and annual rainfall totals are calculated from the daily totals in [[Dayfile.txt]]. So you need to stop Cumulus and edit the daily totals until your monthly and annual totals are correct. Alternatively, you can use the built-in dayfile.txt editor to amend the daily totals, and then restart Cumulus to get the monthly and annual totals recalculated. The format of the dayfile.txt file is in the help file, in the section “Data log file format”, or [[Dayfile.txt|here]]. If you need to, you can specify a year-to-date total to add in for the period up to the point where you started using Cumulus, so that your first year’s total is correct. This is on the Station Configuration screen. Note that today's rain total so far also forms part of the monthly and annual total; you can amend that if necessary by using the built-in editor.
