Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the confusing question which is probably because I'm confused about why things aren't working. To narrow this down, I have a Geiger counter sending data to weewx which is being stored in weewx.sdb under signal1 and signal2. This seems to be working. I have added the following to weewx.conf (Standard skin) under units, groups and string format (see original message above).
signal1 = cpm group_cpm = cpm cpm = %.0f signal2 = µSv group_severt = µSv µSv = %.2f I have this in my weewx.conf for 4.10.2 where it's working but does not work in 5.1 when pasted into weewx.conf. In 4.10.2, I have not used any extra code for an extension. I'm not sure of how to format something like 'geiger.py' for weewx 5.1 but maybe that is what I need to do. Vince pointed me to a cheetah-generator formatting section which I had not seen before so maybe I could use something like this in my index.html.tmpl (?). I have restored the original units.py. That modification was just an uneducated guess on my part. What I have in 5.1 is working. It would just look better if it displayed the units and format better. CO2 level 458 ppm at 11:00 [this one works correctly] Radiation Count Level 16.857143 at 11:15 Radiation Dose 0.095714 at 11:15 Thanks for your help.
