Weather Station: TP1080WC
Operating System: Windows XP
Hi my name is Brad and I use a TP1080WC unit (ProWeather Station). I am unable to match the wind speed on the PC to that on my controler. No matter what I cannot get the two to match one another. The PC is running 1m/s faster than the controler and when I use the Easy Weather software it matches 100%. I have only been able to reduce the difference to 0.3m/s difference when going in to the callibration section and using the multiplyer configuration.
Please advise what I can do to rectify the problem.

Don't use the calibration settings to try to get Cumulus to match the console display, it's not what it's for at all. The calibration settings are to get Cumulus to record different values to those that the station is sending.

Does this help: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#What_do_the_various_wind_speeds_in_Cumulus_correspond_to.2C_with_Fine_Offset_stations.3F
