Well as many have said, read the brilliant manual that Tom Keffer has
produced, as to quote 'the answer to your question will be found in there
and many questions you didn't know you had'!
I thought I had; I have been eating and sleeping it for the last week or
so, but that didn't prevent me from making a 'school-boy' error - syntax!!
Solved!
The more observant of you out there, well certainly more observant than me,
will have noted that I copied and pasted a few commands I tried in [Std
Calibrate], namely:
windSpeed = WindSpeed * 3.6
wind = wind * 3.6
wind_speed = wind_speed * 3.6
Note the mistake on the first one:
WindSpeed instead of: *w*indSpeed
So now I know the commands/variables to input in the correct syntax:
windGust
windSpeed
It all works - problem solved.
Throughout this whole process I have learnt a lot and enjoyed solving all
the problems.
Thank you Tom Keffer and Mathew Wall - your work is superb and you have
raised the bar in my knowledge.
I will leave this post up for a day or so just in case anyone is 'racking
their brains' to help me, then probably delete it, as I have answered my
own question. RTFQ as the say!
Happy and embarrassed,
Dave.
