rain on weather station say .3 mm yet tipping spoon is in .2mm

[kitaro]

I am curious to how i get a reading of .3 mm when the tipping spoon measurement is in .2mm increments how does this happen ?
2nd time I have seen it

Which weather station? One thing that comes to mind is if it's a Davis, it might not be configured correctly for a metric tipping mechanism (you can get 0.2mm or 1/100 of an inch which works out as 0.254mm - which would show up as 0.3 rounded)

If you go into setup mode on your VP2 console and move through the screens - what do you see for Rain collector?

- Enter Setup Mode by pressing DONE and the down arrow (-) at the sametime.
- Press DONE to move to the next screen in the Setup Mode
- Press BAR to display the previous screen in the Setup Mode.
- Exit Setup Mode by pressing and holding DONE until the Current Weather screen displays.

has .01 inch om console
Weatherlink software doesn't say but there is option to set it to .01 inch

[David]

So if you just change it to 0.2mm on the console it should fix it I think.

There must be a weatherlink setting somewhere?
