Is station pressure calibration possible with this device?  If not, can
it be compensated for in the config file?  In other words, having the
correct BP reading with the correct elevation. I do realize that the
altitude set in WeeWX affects the BP, and I imagine it is doing a little
calculation based on a station pressure field polled from the unit. 
Feel free to point out errors in my thinking.

Thank you,

I have an Acurite 5in1 and I haven't found how to calibrate the barometer in the unit, but I do calibrate it in Weewx. Use the StdCalibrate section in weewx.conf under where it says foo=foo+0.2

I have pressure = pressure - 0.11 
I found this number by trial an error, matching my reading vs what I see on the nearest reliable source (regional airport) over a few days.
