|ForceVPBarUpdate=0
|ForceVPBarUpdate=0
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen.  The default (value=0) is to assume standard barometer updates on Davis stations. Set to 1, by adding ForceVPBarUpdate=1 in [Station] section to force more frequent barometer updates on Davis stations. Steve says "Having checked the code, I see it asks for 20 packets from the 'LOOP2' if the barometer forcing is on, otherwise it stops receiving LOOP data after 50 packets". Added in build 3042 (January 2017). Note that ForceVPBarUpdate=1 is only useful on very old versions of the console firmware.
