Thanks

Here's the code; hopefully self-explanatory:

Code: Select all

  if HourlyPressureChangeMB > 6 then
    presstrendstr := Risingveryrapidly
  else if HourlyPressureChangeMB > 3.5 then
    presstrendstr := Risingquickly
  else if HourlyPressureChangeMB > 1.5 then
    presstrendstr := Rising
  else if HourlyPressureChangeMB > 0.1 then
    presstrendstr := Risingslowly
  else if HourlyPressureChangeMB > -0.1 then
    presstrendstr := Steady
  else if HourlyPressureChangeMB > -1.5 then
    presstrendstr := Fallingslowly
  else if HourlyPressureChangeMB > -3.5 then
    presstrendstr := Falling
  else if HourlyPressureChangeMB > -6 then
    presstrendstr := Fallingquickly
  else
    presstrendstr := Fallingveryrapidly;

According to Davis Instruments (manual), for their Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Pro2 Plus consoles:

Barometric Trend (3 hour):

5 Arrow Positions:
- Rising Rapidly
- Rising Slowly
- Steady
- Falling Slowly
- Falling Rapidly

Change Rates:
- Rapidly: ≥.06” H; 1.5 mm Hg; 2 hPa; 2mb
- Slowly: ≥.02” H; 0.5 mm Hg; 0.7hPa; 0.7mb

Here's the code; hopefully self-explanatory:

That'll teach me to refactor code on the fly. Those figures apply to the three-hourly change in pressure (not the hourly change), and the cut-offs are those used by the UK Met Office. So the code actually looks like this (only the variable name has changed):

Code: Select all

  if ThreeHourlyPressureChangeMB > 6 then
    presstrendstr := Risingveryrapidly
  else if ThreeHourlyPressureChangeMB > 3.5 then
    presstrendstr := Risingquickly
  else if ThreeHourlyPressureChangeMB > 1.5 then
    presstrendstr := Rising
  else if ThreeHourlyPressureChangeMB > 0.1 then
    presstrendstr := Risingslowly
  else if ThreeHourlyPressureChangeMB > -0.1 then
    presstrendstr := Steady
  else if ThreeHourlyPressureChangeMB > -1.5 then
    presstrendstr := Fallingslowly
  else if ThreeHourlyPressureChangeMB > -3.5 then
    presstrendstr := Falling
  else if ThreeHourlyPressureChangeMB > -6 then
    presstrendstr := Fallingquickly
  else
    presstrendstr := Fallingveryrapidly;

Apologies for the confusion.

Hi Steve
if use cumulus pressure names is unchecked
so davis name are used what that code look like
beau

I don't know for certain; Cumulus just reads the string from the Davis code. But I assume it's the same as Ray has posted above.
