FAQ: Difference between revisions

If the erroneous rainfall didn't occur today, you just need to edit the total for the relevant day in dayfile.txt, using the dayfile.txt editor on the edit menu. You may then need to restart Cumulus to get the correct monthly and annual totals. If the erroneous rain occurred yesterday, you can also optionally edit yesterday's total (which is only held temporarily for display purposes) in [[today.ini]], while Cumulus is stopped. Note that other rain figures, such as 'rain last hour' and 'rain last 24 hours' depend on a sensible progression of the rain counter, so it's not easy to correct this; it's easier to wait until the erroneous figure is far enough in the past so as not to affect the calculation. If you really do want to try to correct it, you would need to stop Cumulus and edit the 'total rain counter' values in the log file so they are correct relative to the current value of the rain counter (i.e. the latest one logged).
