Default Rainfall Duration

I'm trying to calculate the monthly rainfall duration (hours) using data
from my
Tipping Bucket Gauge - this is connected to a data logger (Casella Rainfall
Logging System) and the Gauge tips every 0.2mm
Using the gauge software I can look at minute data. Now this is where I'm
not quite sure of things
For example a month gives a total figure of 585 minutes (585 / 60 = 9.7hrs)
Is this method of calculation correct - its seems very low for the entire
month ?
How should rainfall duration be calculated using a TBR ?

Regards

Richard
