yowindow.xml format update, pressure trend added.

[par]

I have added a pressure trend support for PWS.
See the fresh build.
The format is the following.

<pressure value="num" trend="num" unit="[ hPa | inchMerc | mmMerc ]"/>

I just have added "trend" attribute.

I need to update the templates for all supported stations.
Friends, please let me know how should I change the templates to reflect pressure trend for your station.

Pasha,

For the Weather Display template you would use the %pressurechangehourinmb% tag. I'll add this to Rainer's and my PHP script as soon as I get a chance.

Hi Par.
I think I must wait for an update on WUHU in order to get the tendency running.
So my PWS is a LaCrosse WS 2810 and it is not supported directly, apart of the currdat.lst file generated still using
[weather_tendency]
comment1=-1=not valid, 0=no change of air pressure
comment2=1=air pressure rising, 2=air pressure falling
number=1
But I am not able to use it, must wait for WUHU.....
By the way do not forget to use (reuse) diferent collors for data comming from PWS in order to be more clear regardind data from metar.

Hi Pasha,

Thanks for this new feature!

Werner, I think the template you have modified will not work

This will not work
<pressure value="num" trend="num" unit="[ hPa | inchMerc | mmMerc ]"/>

You need to find WsWin pressure-trend variable and pass it inside pressure tag.
Like this
<pressure value="%curval[33]%" trend="%curval[special-pressure-trend-id]%"/>

If you to find the value of "special-pressure-trend-id", please let me know.

Hi Pasha, sorry but I zipped the wrong file

In WsWin it is possible to set the trend in different hours, so I used the 24 hour trend.

the trend arrow is shown now on my pc

and on the widget

So I think it should be ok.

OK, good to know you've made it work.
Can you give me the name of the tag used for pressure trend in WsWin?

[Mallorca]

Hi Pasha,
here are the tags for pressure trends setting:

pressure actual *%curval[33]%

pressure trend 1h %ws_baro1h%
pressure trend 2h %ws_baro2h%
pressure trend 3h %ws_baro3h%
pressure trend 6h %ws_baro6h%
pressure trend 12h %ws_baro12h%
pressure trend 24h %ws_baro24h%

I used the 24 h trend.
