Peristaltic Pump

Hi all
any1 with ideas how to calibrate TBRG rain gauge to adjust screws automatically (raise/low) when operator needed it. what components should i use? is it good idea to Peristaltic pump or motors?

I can not understand what you are asking. Is the pump for testing? Peristaltic is unnecessary. Calibration in software will save trouble.

What's the nominal tipping volume of the tipping bucket rain gauge (TBRG)? Since you're not calibrating volume per unit time with the adjusting screws, only tipping volume, all you need is a water source with an accurate, scaled volume. This could be a graduated cylinder, a large syringe, Burnett, ... This all depends on the tipping volume and needed accuracy.
