Available options are: # CSV - import obs from a single CSV format file # WU - import obs from a Weather Underground PWS history # Cumulus - import obs from a one or more Cumulus monthly log files # WD - import obs from a one or more WD monthly log files # Format is: # source = (CSV | WU | Cumulus) source = WU ############################################################################## [WU] # Parameters used when importing from a WU PWS # WU PWS Station ID to be used for import. station_id = XXXXXXXX123 # WU API key to be used for import. api_key = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX1234567890 # # When importing WU data the following WeeWX database fields will be # populated directly by the imported data (provided the corresponding data # exists on WU): # barometer # dateTime # dewpoint # heatindex # outHumidity # outTemp # radiation # rain # rainRate # windchill # windDir # windGust # windSpeed # UV # # The following WeeWX database fields will be populated from other # settings/config files: # interval # usUnits # # The following WeeWX database fields will be populated with values derived # from the imported data provided the --calc-missing command line option is # used during import: # altimeter # ET # pressure # # The following WeeWX fields will be populated with derived values from the # imported data provided the --calc-missing command line option is used # during import. These fields will only be saved to the WeeWX database if # the WeeWX schema has been modified to accept them. Note that the pyephem # module is required in order to calculate maxSolarRad - refer WeeWX Users # Guide. # appTemp # cloudbase # humidex # maxSolarRad # windrun # How will the interval field be determined for the imported records. # Available options are: # derive - Derive the interval field from the timestamp of successive # records. This setting is best used when the imported records # are equally spaced in time and there are no missing records. # conf - Use the interval setting from weewx.conf. This setting is # best used if the records to be imported have been produced by # WeeWX using the same archive interval as set in weewx.conf on # this machine. # x - Use a fixed interval of x minutes for every record. This # setting is best used if the records to be imported are # equally based in time but there are some missing records. # This setting is recommended for WU imports. # Due to WU frequently missing uploaded records, use of 'derive' may give # incorrect or inconsistent interval values. Better results may be # achieved by using the 'conf' setting (if WeeWX has been doing the WU # uploading and the WeeWX archive_interval matches the WU observation # spacing in time) or setting the interval to a fixed value (eg 5). The # most appropriate setting will depend on the completeness and (time) # accuracy of the WU data being imported. # Format is: # interval = (derive | conf | x) interval = x # Should the [StdQC] max/min limits in weewx.conf be applied to the # imported data. This may be useful if the source has extreme values that # are clearly incorrect for some observations. This is particulalrly useful # for WU imports where WU often records clearly erroneous values against # obs that are not reported. Available options are: # True - weewx.conf [StdQC] max/min limits are applied. # False - weewx.conf [StdQC] max/min limits are not applied. # Format is: # qc = (True | False) qc = True # Should any missing derived observations be calculated from the imported # data if possible. Available options are: # True - Any missing derived observations are calculated. # False - Any missing derived observations are not calculated. # Format is: # calc_missing = (True | False) calc_missing = True # Specify how imported data fields that contain invalid data (eg a numeric # field containing non-numeric data) are handled. Available options are: # True - The invalid data is ignored, the WeeWX target field is set to # None and the import continues. # False - The import is halted. # Format is: # ignore_invalid_data = (True | False) # Default is True. ignore_invalid_data = True # Imported records are written to archive in transactions of tranche # records at a time. Increase for faster throughput, decrease to reduce # memory requirements. Format is: # tranche = x # where x is an integer tranche = 250 # Lower and upper bounds for imported wind direction. It is possible, # particularly for a calculated direction, to have a value (eg -45) outside # of the WeeWX limits (0 to 360 inclusive). Format is: # # wind_direction = lower,upper # # where : # lower is the lower limit of acceptable wind direction in degrees # (may be negative) # upper is the upper limit of acceptable wind direction in degrees # # WU has at times been known to store large values (eg -9999) for wind # direction, often no wind direction was uploaded to WU. The wind_direction # parameter sets a lower and upper bound for valid wind direction values. # Values inside these bounds are normalised to the range 0 to 360. Values # outside of the bounds will be stored as None. Default is 0,360 wind_direction = 0,360
