Rain counter configuration

[Julian Riccomini]

Hi, I just got WeeWX  version 4.91 running on a Raspberry Pi using FileParse for my data input because I built my own weather station.  Everything is working nicely, with exception of the rain counter.  Is the program expecting a value of 1 for every pulse from the tipping bucket or .01 value?  I'm getting 1 inch of rain for every count and I haven't found where I would check or change this in a configuration file.  

Thanks

The variable  'rain' is the amount of rain that fell during the time in question. That is, for LOOP packets, it should be the amount of rain that fell since the last LOOP packet (likely a very small number), for archive records, it should be the amount of rain that fell during the archive interval (also a small number).  The unit should be the same as whatever was specified by field usUnits.
