I have just replaced my Davis Vantage Pro2 wind sensor with an ultrasonic one. I live in the SW of Ireland looking into the Atlantic and the usual sensors only last a couple of years before seizing up with rust. In fact I notice they do not drain water properly from the Anemometer so collect water with salt in. A good mix for metal and electronics!
I have just got the Ultrasonic one up on top of my 10 metre mast. I have not done anything to the Console or Weather Envoy settings (I do not use Windows, only Linux). So Console is 'Large Cup' I do not have any other choice other than 'Small Cup' In my weewx.config file under [StdConvert] section I have this setting: target_unit = METRICWX Looking at the output compared with my Campbell Scientific Ultrasonic Sensor at 6 metres, I suspect the Davis one is logging in m/s rather than knots, I have put the two outputs into a spreadsheet and converted the Davis Output to Knots and I am pretty sure this is the case. I would just like to be sure I am correct in my thinking. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
