Newbie here, coming from wview, and using a Texas Weather Instruments
station. I've adjusted my console to display -- and report via its serial
port -- an "altimeter" version of my barometric pressure so I can most
easily compare my readings with other stations. Using the default weewx
configuration, it must assume the reported pressure is gauge pressure since
the calculated altimeter reading is up over 41"! At my home's altitude of
8258', my gauge pressure is around 22.15". It seems that I have two
options for configuring weewx to see my correct barometric pressure. One
is to set the
[StdWXCalculate] like this:
[[Calculations]]
pressure = software
altimeter = hardware
barometer = software
My other option to let weewx assume the pressure my station reports is
gauge pressure and apply a correction offset of approximately -8". Which
option is the preferred method?
One final question. Since my barometric pressure sensor is indoors in the
console, should the temperature used for corrections be indoor or outdoor
temperature?
Thanks, Russ.
