Rain data

Fairly new to VTScada and I need help setting up certain tag to pull from a weather station (Columbia 420) we have.

The station keeps a running total up to 10 inches before rolling back to 0 inches. I would like to display rainfall today but the reset back to 0 has me stumped as to how to setup that tag to account for the rollover which could happen in the middle of the day.

Thanks in advance for replies!

I did try that, but unless I'm doing something wrong, the "Manual Data Period" > "Latest" > "1 day" gives a value for a 24-hour period. I'm wanting a value from midnight to midnight.

Hmm, the only other thing I could think of is use a trigger tag to trigger a multi-write tag every day at 12AM. The multi-write tag would then write the value of the history stats tag into another i/o memory tag, called something like "yesterdays_rain." That's about all I can think of. Full disclosure, I'm just a user, not an employee.
