Calibration

You should attempt to calibrate your weather station to improve the accuracy of your weather observations. Weather Display provides a set of offsets which allow you to tune your data. For example, if you know that your outdoor temperature sensor always reads 1°C high you can set an offset for this so that Weather Display uses and stores the correct value.

To adjust the offsets for your weather station, do the following:

  1. On the Weather Display main menu, click Control Panel.
  2. Under Station Settings, click Offsets Limits and Rainfal Totals.

Offsets are available for:

  • Barometer
  • Temperature
  • Humidity (Inside and Outside)
  • Wind Speed
  • Wind Direction
  • Rainfall
  • Time of Day

Enter offset values as necessary. You can also set your month-to-date and year-to date rain data here, as Weather Display stores the rain totals independently from data stored in your weather station. Click Yes to save your entries.
