Huummm......more or less.
I'm confused because I can see some stations in WeatherUnderground with
frequently update time (30 seconds +-), but I'm now sure how to do this.
My loop interval is set to 5 seconds (which is the time that my C program
updates TXT file for FileParer driver) and I would like to update services
for 30 or 60 seconds, but I know that WeeWx just update services (and
report page) when does Archiving, whih is, by default, 300 seconds.
So, my question is: there is any way to update services more often and keep
archiving with 300 seconds? My Loop is already set to 5 seconds and my
driver can fetch new data every 5 seconds.
