discrepency between Cumulus and console
Posted: Fri 17 Aug 2012 6:23 pm
I'll preface this post with an apology, I am very much a newbie when it comes to PWS, how they work and use Cumulus as it was recommended by the company I bought my WS from. So if I mis-speak or have missed something please bear with me.
I noticed a couple of days ago that the windspeed (in MPH) being displayed in Cumulus did not match the windspeed on my console, as I began to look closer I notice the barometric pressure was off as well. I have watched it for a couple of days now on and off. At no point do the reading match each other. The temperature always seems to match however.
For example the console my show a wind speed of 1.6MPH and Cumulus will show 3.1MPH. Then it might change to 2.2MPH on Cumulus and still be reading 1.6 on the console. I tried using the calibration screen to bring the windspeeds closer together but it did not seem to work. The readings in Cumulus did not change.
The Barometric PSI will show 29.84 on the console and show 28.77 in Cumulus.
I'm so confused
