Gerry, I agree on the -99999 selection since any other real value is possibly correct.
This is the simple way to go. 73 from 807, Richard, N6NKO Gerry Creager <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Matt Werner wrote: > I have a 2000 but currently have the wind sensor disconnected (it's > under repair). > > It would be nice to have the ability to tell xastir which sensors to > report and which to ignore.

Having spent a fair bit of time w/ Davis yesterday getting them to update their windows s/w for APRS-WX/CWOP... if I can find Peet at the American Meteorological Society meeting, I've some requests for them, too! And you just raised a key one. We should have a standard value for *Missing Data* such as, -99999 (which is, in fact, one such well recognized value in the meteorological community). > The difference between 0 and 'no data' is significant but xastir > doesn't recognize it. Nor do a lot of other consumer-grade, or APRS-WX, programs. It's more an oversight, I think, than a mistake. However, thanks for pointing it out. > On Jan 22, 2008 11:08 AM, Curt, WE7U wrote: >> On Sun, 20 Jan 2008, Rick Green wrote: >> >>> I'm running a Peet Ultimeter 500, which seems to output the same data >>> structures as the ultimeter 2000, but with all the 'missing' sensors >>> zeroed out.
