INTRODUCTION
The Casella Rainfall Logging System application software provides users with
a powerful and versatile Windows program for the accumulation,
processing and presentation of rainfall data.
Replacing the earlier Casella rainfall logging system RLS (Rainfall Logging
System) DOS application, Version 12 has been completely rewritten to take
advantage of the 32 bit facilities available from current versions of Windows

data down- loading, archiving and historical presentation into an easily used
package. It is designed to run on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows
NT 4, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
