Ben - what you are looking at is a "daily summary" or your reported readings
via the internet compared to the "Statistical Model"

Your summary:

24-FEB-2006 Errs    CW0467 *   0/93   *   0/93   *   0/93   *   1/93   *
1/93   

Each time your systems connects to the Internet and up loads your data is
considered 1 report.  Evidently your "Peet" system reports 93 times a day or
3.875 times per hour.  


This line tells you that you had zero errors over 93 reports for all but
Degree Days and Temp where you had 1 error over 93 reports.  As Evan said
your right on the money!  I suggest you monitor your QC reports, but leave
your equipment as is for now.

Don't get hung up and try to chase the "Statistical Model"!  I live in the
flat lands of Florida.  I'm surrounded on by nearly 30 square miles of
brackish  marshes and the St. Johns water way.  This mini climatology area
can produce wide swings in my reports against the "Statistical Model".  We
feel that my equipment is correctly indicating the meteorological conditions
at the time.  The last adjustment I made to my system was nearly 2 years
ago.  Actually it was a series of very minor adjustments over several weeks,
with the consultation of Dave Helms, an outstanding source of help and
information.  Your welcome to check my data, CW2689, and back up data.  You
will notice I almost daily have 1 or 2 errors on DD.  I choose to ignore it.


Hope this helps!
