Whilst in almost all cases the archive interval used by WeeWX will match the archive_interval config option in weewx.conf [StdArchive] this is not always the case. Installs that use software record generation always use an archive interval that matches the archive_interval config option; however, when using hardware record generation if the archive interval set in the station hardware is different to the archive_interval config option the archive_interval config option is ignored and the station hardware archive interval is used instead. This is most commonly seen with Davis stations used with a default WeeWX install. The Davis station uses an out-of-the-box 30 minute archive interval and that value overrides the default WeeWX archive interval of five minutes.
Using the interval field from the current archive record should always give the correct value. Gary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
