Finally got a decent rain, but YAAP program still not recording any rain.
Program:? YAAC 1.0- beta 160(27nov-2020), weather set-up: 2400 baud, WX station mode Ultimeter 500/2000 (test port active with wx input data), ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Weather view - all readouts, temp's, wind, etc? correct except rain indicating? 0.00" Weather station:? Peet Bros. Ultimeter 2100, set for Multiple output mode. The same WX data is input to a office Weather Picture,?main weather station (WK1F-2) and YAAP (WK1F-3) program. The WK1F-2 wx? station is running Winaprs 2.9.0 on a separate computer. ? Computer operating sys: Windows 10 V:2004(OS build 19041.685) Observations:? WX station (WK1F-2), Inter-net Find-u, and Weather picture in my office, all agree with Peet Bros ULtimeter-2100. The YAAP WX station, WK1F-3, readings are correct except the rain reading remains 0.00" with a current rain fall of 0.92" over the last 3-hours. Any thoughts on this? Fred, WK1F |

How exactly are you connecting the Ultimeter 2100 to the computer running YAAC? RS232 ports tend to be point-to-point, not multipoint drops. So how is the data feed being multiplexed to three different consumers?
Note that YAAC does not presently support data logger packets in the Multiple mode variation (only the single mode variation), nor does it understand WeatherText format or Complete History records. So those records would be ignored, leaving only the Complete Record format records to be processed. Peet Bros does not document the WeatherText format, so I don't know if such records would confuse YAAC's interpretation of the records it does understand. Can you capture me a one-minute sample of the data you are feeding into YAAC? Also, to comply with APRS standards, the long-term rain values are ignored by YAAC (since it is not documented when the long term began). Instead, YAAC uses the accumulating Today's Rain Total value (assuming you have your weather station's clock set correctly and the same time zone on both the weather station and the computer running YAAC) to calculate the "last hour", "rain since midnight", and "rain over last 24 hours" values. If your weather station clock is more than half an hour different from the YAAC computer's system time, the rain numbers will likely be totally mixed up from YAAC trying to infer the effective timezone of your weather station. Let me know the answers to these questions, and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks Andrew , hope the following will give you the info you requested.
The data from the Ultimeter is fed through a 5-port serial adapter (PeetBros p/n WSF-02065) to the two computers and weather picture. The Ultimeter and computer clock is within a few seconds apart, same date. Hope the attachments will suffice, Fred |

Nice, but not quite enough. I only see the &CR& records (Complete Record) (although they do have obvious non-zero "Today's rain" values; none of the every-1-minute WeatherText nor any Data Logger packets appeared. Let me test with my Ultimeter 2100 and see what I get in terms of other message formats.
