Although the rain collector is now ready to take accurate metric

measurements, the console does not register the rain collector measurement

weight has changed. The rain measurement type must be changed on the

console.

Rainfall Calibration Number

Each station uses a rainfall calibration number (CAL) to determine how much

water each bucket tip (i.e., pulse) represents.

Calibrated Rainfall = Number of pulses x (1/CAL)

The default rainfall CAL of 100 works for the 0.01" rain collector. If you have a

0.01" rain collector you do not need to adjust CAL at all.
