How do I calibrate or adjust the wind direction of my 1-wire weather station anemometer without climbing on the roof and physically aligning it?
It is always preferable to calibrate the wind direction of the anemometer by physically aligning the entire anemometer assembly (arm) to point in the NORTH direction. However if it is inconvenient to do this due to the location of the anemometer, or if you would like to “tweak” the wind direction, there is a software calibration that you can perform to accomplish the same thing: 1. Quit out of WAIS and the DDE Server. Also STOP WeatherActive Monitor if it’s also running 2. Edit (using Notepad or any other ASCII editor) the file named “onesix.ini” located in the “WeatherActive” folder. This is the folder where the weatheractive software is installed. 3. Look for the line that says: DirectionOffset=0 This is the wind direction offset in degrees that is added or subtracted to the actual wind direction read from the sensor. 4. Change the “0” (zero) to a negative or positive number between 0 and 359 degrees to calibrate the wind direction. A Positive number “moves” or offsets the wind direc
