When it comes to any of the ‘pressures’ you need to be very careful because the behaviour depends which of the three your station provides. If your station does indeed provide altimeter then StdCalibrate should work as you have specified (field altimeter will exist when StdCalibrate is applied). When StdWXCalculate comes along afterwards it will not calculate field altimeter as it already exists. However, if your station does not provide altimeter, you can’t calibrate it (field altimeter does not exist) but StdWXCalculate will come along afterwards and calculate altimeter, so it can appear that altimeter was not calibrated. It’s worthwhile having a look at the order of the process_services under [Engine] in weewx.conf.
So have a look at your station/driver, what ‘pressures’ does it emit? If it does not emit altimeter then you can’t use StdCalibrate, all you can really do is calibrate the ‘pressure’ that is emitted (and altimeter should follow from that). Not sure but I could see software record generation also causing some unexpected results, not 100% sure on this, would need to have a look at the code base and am unable to do that just now.
