    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.

    """

    __docformat__ = "restructuredtext en"

    import logging
    import os

        """Default calibration class.

        This class sets the relative pressure, using a pressure offset

        object or a user calibration object, depending on the
        ``user_calib`` value in the ``[paths]`` section of the ``params``
        parameter. It then adopts the calibration object's
        :py:meth:`calib` method as its own.
