One thing, shouldn't the first segment be illuminated for zero? It is on the radial bargraph, I'll check the linear. You may have to 'tweak' the section colour boundaries - they are set for a type4 radial gauge, with having discrete steps rather than a continuous range you cannot simply set the sections at nice round numbers 0-3, 3-4 etc
Mark, I have been trying different settings for the UV Index gauge but could not get the first segment (the LED above the zero) to light up...

Steve, I think that the UV Index limit should remain at 16, since, unfortunately, more likely, the UV Index values reported by other (lower-priced) weather stations are certainly not as accurate as the values reported by a Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Plus...
Note: A Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 Plus console can/will display UV readings in two scales: (from the Davis Instruments documentation).
UV Index: "An intensity measurement first defined by Environment Canada and since been adopted by the World Meteorological Organiza-tion - UV Index assigns a number between 0 and 16 to the current UV intensity - the Index value published by the U.S. National Weather Service is a forecast of the next day’s noontime UV intensity - the index values displayed by the Vantage Pro2 are real-time measurements" - Range: 0 to 16
MEDs: "Minimum Erythemal Dose or the amount of sunlight exposure necessary to induce a barely perceptible redness of the skin within 24 hours after sun exposure - in other words, exposure to 1 MED will result in a reddening of the skin - both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Environment Canada have developed skin type categories correlating characteristics of skin with rates of sunburn" - Range: 0 to 199 MEDs
