that depends on the driver.
VantageVue, VantagePro, etc are all served by the Vantage driver; you
should use Vantage as the station_type
there must be a stanza in the configuration file whose name matches
whatever you specify for station_type. the driver field in that stanza
indicates where to find the driver. most drivers use the station_type as a
key for many configuration options.
although editing the configuration directly will work just fine, you can
avoid these issues and ensure that all of the per-driver options are set
properly by using the wee_config tool (see the weewx user guide for
details). it works with any driver that implements the right methods.
for many types of hardware, the wee_device utility will let you talk
directly with the hardware to change its settings.
