I went to some other wview users sites and see similar things, but the folks running 1.7.7 seem OK. Your site is even showing negative values. http://home.comcast.net/~mullicahillweather/img/index.html Back to top mteel Joined: 30 Jun 2005 Posts: 435 Location: Collinsville, TX Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2005 6:31 pm    Post subject: Some of your archive records must have non-zero values for ET. I noticed that about a month ago... Better yet, you could reset your Yearly ET on the VP console and probably clear it up. I bet it shows a non-zero value now if you punch it up on the console. My site and the others you mention are absolutely accurate. The Precipitation dials (not rain for a reason) are the result of subtracting the ET value from the rainfall value for that given timeframe. In fact, I consulted your friend Gary (who did your home page template) prior to implementing this asking him if he thought it was a good idea (he did). It is something I wanted to implement for a long time. ET, after all, is a measurement of evaporated moisture - a negative rainfall if you will. The "Precip" dials represent the net moisture for a given time frame. If a person doesn't have the radiation sensor installed as part of their sensor suite, the "Precip" should equal "Rainfall", and it does on every wview site except yours Mark Back to top mhweather Joined: 07 Aug 2005 Posts: 54 Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2005 8:14 am    Post subject: Looks like more hex editor fun , do you do that calculation from individual archive records or from the summary records in the archive ? I narrowed it down to the Jun 05 data, thats when I had my ISS SIM board failure for 2wks and I had to go back and "fix" those records with my own manual recorded observations.

So, if you use the VP console setup utility (on the console) you can set your year-to-date ET value to "0.00" and you should be set. The archive record data would only effect any ET chart you might generate, but since you don't have the radiation sensor, you won't be generating any ET charts. You don't even need to restart wview to fix it on the VP console...
