I propose changing the FineOffset section of /etc/weewx/weewx.conf to read
as below:-
[FineOffsetUSB]
# This section is for the Fine Offset series of weather stations.
# The station model, e.g., WH1080, WS1090, WS2080, WH3081
model = Aercus WS3083
#data_format=3080
# How often to poll the station for data, in seconds
polling_interval = 60
# The driver to use:
driver = weewx.drivers.fousb
Will this be OK? One problem is that file is Read-Only, should I change
that temporarily to enable amending the file?
