When there's a real storm, I expect LOTS of counts per minute. How will the WF UDP driver actually log these counts (over minute) into the weewx.sdb database? Will it make a SUM over a minute and log it in the database? I don't really care about the distance. 2. I created a plot which plots the "SoilMoist1" (counts). I'd like to aggregate (sum?) the counts over an hour or 10 minutes. This is partly linked to question 1 (what values are logged) but I'd like to know if "aggregation" means making a SUM or AVG over a period.
