|DavisCalcAltPressOffset=Offset_Value

The calculated altimeter pressure (from build 792) uses
<pre>k1 := 0.190284; // discrepency with calculated k1 probably because Smithsonian used less precise gas constant and gravity values
k2 := 8.4184960528E-5; // (standardLapseRate / standardTempK) * (Power(standardSLP, k1)
Result := Power(Power(absolute_pressureHPa - 0.3, k1) + (k2 * elevationM), 1/k1);</pre>
Sea level pressure is strictly calculated from actual pressure making compensation for temperature and humidity variation with height and most stations supply a SLP, but in Cumulus terms where a station supplies absolute pressure only, a standard offset is used to correct that to sea level pressure. Altimeter pressure as used for reporting to APRS/CWOP, does not make this compensation for temperature and humidity, it assumes standard atmosphere, purely a compensation for altitude, so the above calculation is used, then this offset is used by Cumulus to re-calculate altimeter pressure.
