I presume you mean the station display. The use of 'Pressure' is consistent with it being station pressure but it could mean anything, would not be the first time weather station hardware manufacturers have been vague, liberal with the truth or just wrong. So I am a bit confused between what you said about barometric pressure vs. > raw pressure. > Did you read the wiki article about the three different pressures that WeeWX uses?

Since you can't change what the station hardware displays you need to change what WeeWX and WU displays. Changing what WeeWX displays is easy, as I said its a simple change to a template. Changing what WU displays is more complex and involves changing the WeeWX WU uploader to upload WeeWX field pressure instead of field barometer. If you go down this path you need to accept a few things. Firstly, your WU data will be inaccurate (it expects barometric pressure and you will be sending it station pressure). Secondly, your changes to the template will be safe but your changes to the WU uploader will likely be overwritten each time you upgrade WeeWX. I am not familiar with the WS-2813 so do not know if there is any ability to change what pressure it displays, I suspect there will not be a means though. At the end of the day you might be displaying a different value to a lot of other folks, doesn't make them right and you wrong though.
