I am wanting glatest to be the peak gust over the moving rtgd 'min_interval'. I realize wgust already provides peak gust over a 10-minute moving window, but in contrast, glatest would provide near-real-time gust information if min_interval is made short.
I realize SteelSeries Weather Gauges enhancement is beyond the scope of rtgd. However, standard installations would ignore glatest and remain compatible and I can provide a modified gauges.js file with a near-real-time gust pointer to weewx users who want it (*or ideally to the SS Weather Gauges author if he is willing to incorporate it for weewx users*). Unrelated to the gust issue, I have fixed gauges.js coding mistakes that should be submitted to him anyway.
