That's rather a question for the wxforum
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?board=111.0
it's not really a weewx question
In a way the Ecowitt gateway driver is dumb - it just asks the console
(GW1x00, GW2000, WH2650, WN19x0) for information, receives it and puts
it into the weewx loop.
Depending on some settings in weewx.conf, weewx does some own
calculation but nothing regarding the WH57.
If you want to know what the driver receives in detail, look up
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0
and read the section about the Ecowitt Gateway driver.
Basically, in a nutshell, the WH57 itself already provides all this info
to the console - the console just records it and hands it over to the
weewx Ecowitt Gateway driver on request.

How are lightning strikes and lightning distance calculated?
- How does the WH57 do it?
- How does the Ecowitt Gateway Driver do it?
Lightning distance and lightning strike count aren't independent
values when you don't look at the events individually, but over a
observation period:
- WH57 has an Interval of 79 seconds. Within 79 seconds many lightning
events can occur. When the Sensors emits a new value, is the distance
weighted? If not, any further calculations are pointless anyway.
(Maybe Rainer Lang knows the answer or knows someone who knows the answer)
- weewx has an archive_interval, does the driver weight the
distance/count or is the value for the interval just the average of
the individual distance values?
