Wind Readings

Post by KI6DPD »

It appears that the wind "latest" and the wind "average" readings are exactly switched from what they should be. :?

Station Type: Weatherwise WS-1090 Solar

O.S.: Windows XP Pro

Thanks much to anyone who can shed some light on this and hopefully it is not some very small thing I have overlooked. :bash:

73 everyone !

Hi Steve,

I guess that I am not even intelligent enough to post a reply properly. Just wanted to thank you for the info. I guess what I am looking for is a program that will reflect the data I am seeing on my console in real time and then upload it to wunderground. I am probably asking a lot. The reason that I am using a Fine Offset clone if you will, is that I tried Acurite equipment, it was well built, but my gripe was the limitation of software that was available, which cost almost as much as I paid for the whole station. Probably no harm, but I also didn't really like the fact that to get my data to WG, I needed to first upload it to a Chaney/Acurite proprietary server, which for no good reason that I could figure, would seem to forget who I was and would make me go through the whole process of installing my account again. Sorry for the extremely long sentence. I tried Easyweather, but in order to get my data to WG, I needed to also run WUHU concurrently. Sometimes it would initialize and work and sometimes it would not.

Have a good one Steve and thanks again for your help.

Cumulus does that, with the default settings.

Good day Steve,

Thank you again for the help. I have found that if I set my console to read "gusts", that the wind readings agree with each other.
