Make sure that you have set your console's relative pressure correctly - see your station manual for how to do this, typically tap the reading three times, then click '+' or '-'. The support forum includes discussion on where to find isobar charts or other sources to determine what the pressure should be. Obviously after any adjustment you need to stop Cumulus, because it is when you restart it that Cumulus reads the new pressure offset. | Make sure that you have set your console's relative pressure correctly - see your station manual for how to do this, typically tap the reading three times, then click '+' or '-'.

Sometimes the offset that cumulus reads is clearly garbage, so Cumulus uses zero as a best effort. In this situation, Cumulus will display the same value as the 'absolute' pressure on the console (no "rel" is displayed on the console when it is displaying absolute pressure). | Sometimes the offset that cumulus reads is clearly garbage, so Cumulus uses zero as a best effort. In this situation, Cumulus will display the same value as the 'absolute' pressure on the console (no "rel" is displayed on the console when it is displaying absolute pressure). Often, if you restart Cumulus, it will then be able to read the correct value. If the problem happens often, you can circumvent it by editing cumulus.ini (while Cumulus is stopped), and in the [Station] section add an entry: | ||
