Patrick,

There is a typo in my message below. It should read: "You should now be able to 
view PSL in your station plots." Sorry for the confusion.

Best Wishes,

> You are correct. You need to go to the layout model editor. In the editor, 
> please double click on the pressure field (to the top-right of the station). 
> This action will bring forward a panel with four tabs; Display, Color By, 
> Scale Size, Rotate. The Display tab should already be selected. In the "Value 
> parameter" field, be sure to enter the correct field, probably "PSL", if it 
> is a Synoptic Data observation. If you are unsure about the parameter, to the 
> left of this field is a chevron symbol. Click on that symbol and go to 
> Current Fields > Point Data > Group * and select the field of interest. Once 
> you have modified your field, click OK. Back in the layout editor "Save As" 
> your new layout. Use this new layout in the Dashboard, Displays Tab, Layout 
> Model choice. You should not be able to PSL in your station plots.
