Please read the following carefully. Rain Gauge makes use of text files to store and log user and gauge information. When installing the application to the Programs folder, these files become inaccessible (Only when installed for all users). This issue can be avoided by installing the application for the current user only. To install Rain Gauge, locate the installer Rain Gauge vX.X.X.X Installer .exe file and run it.

Rain Gauge makes recording, logging, graphing and summarizing rainfall easy. When installation is complete, you must add a user and a gauge. To add a user, click Add User on the top pane, and enter a name. To add a gauge, navigate to the 'Recording Information' pane and click Add New, suppling a name and max capacity. Then refresh both these fields by using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + R and Ctrl + Q or navigate to the menu bar. This information is then stored in a text file, so it is easily accessible upon application relaunch.

Adding a record is easy. First select a gauge and get the max capacity. Then select the date and time of reading and click Apply. It is important to click apply to get the correct date. Then supply the reading and weather (at time of reading) information. You can also check the if you recorded it or someone else did, and whether it was emptied. To record, click Apply.

Rain Gauge File information is stored as a .csv. You can save rainfall records easily as files for later use by clicking Save and Open to import saved records or by navigating to the main menu.

Records can be easily visualized and summarized under the 'Analysis' tab sheet. Once and adequate number of records have been logged, click Graph to draw daily, monthly and annual graphs and Summary to show total and average rainfall as well as the period of data recording in days, monthly and annual rainfall totals.

Records, Graphs and summaries can be printed. Navigate to the main menu.

Updates may be regular and will always be made available on the GitHub platform. Please periodically check this repo and update to the latest version. You will need to uninstall previous versions of Rain Gauge from the Programs and Features control panel.
