Warning
The link to Starpath Barometer Calibration given into the post following this one allows you a quick calculation for pressure correction considering your absolute weather station pressure is absolutely correct.
If you want check your pressure sensor with a complete test, please use pressure tool, which allows complete comparison with Metars given by ICAO in the vicinity of your installation.
To All,
In front of the amount of pressure measures in nonconformity to reality, mainly generated by wrong barometric adjustments and sensors badly calibrated, I have developed a simple solution from a spreadsheet. Its use allows controlling your pressure sensor: no specific knowledge necessary, simple use with help and guidance to the problem encountered.
This tool has three main targets:
To know the Relative Reference Pressure at sea level for your station,
To set up your pressure sensor,
To monitor your sensor and to help you for correction of possible deviations.
To know if your sensor runs well, to know if your sensor is “passing away” or if your console shows a defectiveness.
The tool runs with Excel from Microsoft or sCalc from OpenOffice. For those who have not Excel, OpenOffice is an excellent and free suite(GNU licence) including sCalc.
It is enough to download two of three files attached. The user guide is pdf zipped that I advise to read before using the xls or ods file also zipped.
