WS-2000 Calibrating for CWOP

(1/6) > >>

rjdj2000:
Hello,

I have been trying to calibrate my barometer so I can get rid of the L3 mark on my station on CWOP (ID: GW5159)  So far I have been way confused on how to do this and I have probably messed things up pretty good.

I tried to go by this guide on the CWOP site :https://harriscountyskywatcher.com/2021/03/16/ambient-weather-ws-2000-barometer-calibration/

Thought I had it but I doubt it as it was worse on CWOP after I did it then before.

So, I sent email to support and they sent me to here.  I've looked around and tried to re-calibrate it and still is way off.

So I have went to this site to get my elevation https://www.freemaptools.com/elevation-finder.htm

I get 367m or 1204.1 ft. on that site

Right now my barometer on my control unit is reading: REL - 1021.6 hpa and ABS - 1020.7  The nearest METAR site from me is my local airport, KN03, which is showing 1020.4 mb on the altimeter.  My indoor remote sensor is showing 28.83 inHg.

So using these figures, how to I calculate what to put in for REL and ABS on my console?  I know these values will change by the time someone sees this and responds, but I just need a down and dirty simple way to calculate this and what/how to change.  I know from reading in here that if I change the REL, the ABS will change and vice versa.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't have any Ambient devices, but I suggest reviewing this Wiki for more info: https://meshka.eu/Ecowitt/dokuwiki/doku.php#hp2550_hp2560_-_ambient_ws-2000_ws-4000_ws-5000_-_froggit_hp1000pro_se_hp2000

Will have to check firmware on it as there is no elevation shown in my unit that I know of.

zeppline:
Your elevation is in calibration, Altitude for rel.

My Ambient CWOP i have to adjust the ABS barometer to get in calibration.  He performs the REL from the elevation.
