Calibrate raw weather station data
==================================
This module allows adjustment of raw data from the weather station as
part of the 'processing' step (see :doc:`pywws.Process`). For example,
if you have fitted a funnel to double your rain gauge's collection
area, you can write a calibration routine to double the rain value.
The default calibration does two things:
#. Generate relative atmospheric pressure.
#. Remove invalid wind direction values.
Any user calibration you write must also do these.
Writing your calibration module
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Firstly, decide where you want to keep your module. Like your text and
graph templates, it's best to keep it separate from the pywws code, so
it isn't affected by pywws upgrades. I suggest creating a ``modules``
directory in the same place as your ``templates`` directory.
You could start by copying one of the example calibration modules, or
you can create a plain text file in your ``modules`` directory, e.g.
``calib.py`` and copy the following text into it::
class Calib(object):
def __init__(self, params, stored_data):
self.pressure_offset = eval(params.get('config', 'pressure offset'))
def calib(self, raw):
result = dict(raw)
# sanitise data
if result['wind_dir'] is not None and result['wind_dir'] >= 16:
result['wind_dir'] = None
# calculate relative pressure
result['rel_pressure'] = raw['abs_pressure'] + self.pressure_offset
return result
The :class:`Calib` class has two methods. :py:meth:`Calib.__init__` is
the constructor and is a good place to set any constants you need. It
is passed a reference to the raw data storage which can be useful for
advanced tasks such as spike removal. :py:meth:`Calib.calib` generates
a single set of 'calibrated' data from a single set of 'raw' data.
There are a few rules to follow when writing this method:
- Make sure you include the line ``result = dict(raw)``, which
copies all the raw data to your result value, at the start.
- Don't modify any of the raw data.
- Make sure you set ``result['rel_pressure']``.
- Don't forget to ``return`` the result at the end.
When you've finished writing your calibration module you can get pywws
to use it by putting its location in your ``weather.ini`` file. It
goes in the ``[paths]`` section, as shown in the example below::
[paths]
work = /tmp/weather
templates = /home/jim/weather/templates/
graph_templates = /home/jim/weather/graph_templates/
user_calib = /home/jim/weather/modules/usercalib
Note that the ``user_calib`` value need not include the ``.py`` at the
end of the file name.
