Hello,

If you look in the driver, you'll see this note:

Illuminance and Radiation

The 30xx stations include a sensor that reports illuminance (lux).  The
conversion from lux to radiation is a function of the angle of the sun and
altitude, but this driver uses a single multiplier as an approximation.

Apparently the display on fine offset stations is incorrect.  The display
reports radiation with a lux-to-W/m^2 multiplier of 0.001464.  Apparently
Cumulus and WeatherDisplay use a multiplier of 0.0079.  The multiplier for
sea level with sun directly overhead is 0.01075.

This driver uses the sea level multiplier of 0.01075.  Use an entry in
StdCalibrate to adjust this for your location and altitude.


The ratio of multipliers is 0.01075 / 0.001464 or 7.34.

This is the same as the ratio of the values: 93 / 12.7 = 7.32.

So, the difference is entirely due to the different multipliers used.
