Agilaire 8872 Manual
Chapter 2 Configuration
The
Rainfall channel
uses the meteorological input card in the 8832 logger or a status input
in an 8872 (set to “Counter” mode), and calculates accumulation by counting the number of
pulses received during the averaging interval, typically received from a tipping bucket rain
gauge. This count is then scaled to engineering units, usually inches of rain per hour.
The Counter Input is the
number of pulses that will
equal one engineering unit
(normally 1).
Channel Output is the
engineering units
corresponding to the
number of pulses counted.
