Hi, Are you sure that your station emits barometer? Corrections can only be applied to obs that are emitted from the hardware, this can get tricky in the case of pressures as there are three that are commonly used, Station pressure (aka pressure), Sea-Level Pressure (aka barometer) and Altimeter Pressure (aka altimeter). Some hardware emits one, some hardware emits one of the others or more than one and so it goes on. By default, if weewx is able to it calculates any of the missing pressures. So it can be hard to tell what is coming from the hardware as you may see all three in your output. Looking at the Hardware Guide <http://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm> I see that the other Acurite models emit Station Pressure (ie pressure) and weewx calculates barometer and altimeter. I realise that the 1536 (if that is what you have - you didnt seem too sure) is not listed but....
In the absence of any other guidance you could try applying your correction to pressure instead of barometer. Or maybe someone with a 1536 will come along....
