given that you have set 'target_unit = METRICWX’, the raw values inside weewx are all in the format of the units defined for METRICWX. the unit for speed used in METRICWX is indeed ‘m/s’
whenever you display values, weewx converts from whatever the internal format is into the units you have requested. if you happen to be displaying in the default METRICWX units, it has no conversion to do, but you can request it in ‘knots’ instead (such as tag $windSpeed.knot) and let weewx sort out conversions if you want knots as your default displayed unit (in tags, web pages, etc), change weewx.conf under [[[Units]]] [[[[Groups]]]] 'group_speed = knot’ (it is probably explicitly set to ‘m/s’ at present, or it is that by default if not present, you just need to override it) (note that the configuration line always mentions the unit in singular - ‘knot’ not ‘knots’) > On 24 Aug 2020, at 6:59 pm, [email protected] <[email protected]> > wrote: > > 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, > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
