My previous Post got deleted, sometimes Google Groups acts weird. Retry:
I made a mistake although I tested the config locally, above, I pasted the
config with a missing line. It shouuld looks like this:
# BEGIN Rain Rate
[[[DisplayOptions]]]
plot_groups = barometer, tempdew, tempfeel, hum, wind, winddir,
windvec, rain, rainRate, ET, UV, radiation, lightning, tempin, humin,
tempext, humext, tempext2, humext2, templeaf, wetleaf, tempsoil, moistsoil,
pm
[[[ImageGenerator]]]
[[[[day_images]]]]
* [[[[[dayrainRate]]]]]*
[[[[[[rainRate]]]]]]
[[[[week_images]]]]
[[[[[weekrainRate]]]]]
[[[[[[rainRate]]]]]]
[[[[month_images]]]]
[[[[[monthrainRate]]]]]
[[[[[[rainRate]]]]]]
[[[[year_images]]]]
[[[[[yearrainRate]]]]]
[[[[[[rainRate]]]]]]
# END Rain Rate
