5.1.1.4 Rainloggers
There is one channel of measurement for a Rainlogger. The RainFall Channel records each tip time by the
connected tipping-bucket and outputs the amount of rainfall per tip (input Rainfall Cal Constant).
• Identification describes the measurement parameter of the channel and has already been configured
as 'RainFall'. The channel can be re-named to suit each project. The Identification field will be the
channel heading, data column heading and graph line name when viewing the data. Identification is
limited to 32 characters.
• Units refers to the channel’s unit of measurement. There are two units of measure available for the
user to select: mm or in.
• The Rainfall Cal Constant field allows you to enter the calibration factor for the tipping-
bucket you will be using. 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.
