Is this the section of the WEEWX CONFIGURATION FILE where I should specify
the data-format option (my station is an* Aercus* WS 3083):-
[FineOffsetUSB]
# This section is for the Fine Offset series of weather stations.
# The station model, e.g., WH1080, WS1090, WS2080, WH3081
model = WS2080
# How often to poll the station for data, in seconds
polling_interval = 60
# The driver to use:
driver = weewx.drivers.fousb
I see that model = WS2080 here, should I change this to ,eg, WS3083 or WS
3080?
