Mode 14 – Averaging Polled Mode
See Mode 15 for data output format and command explanations.
For ease of use before changing to this Mode set all other WindObserver parameters first
including:-
Px:- Measurement Rate, (P1 to P4) this command sets the underlying measurement rate
from 1Hz to 4Hz.
RWASHORT xx: - Short Term Number, where xx is a number from 10 to 60.
RWALONG xx: - Long Term Number, where xx is a number from 1 to 10.
Once set for Mode 14, to Poll for averaged data use the ? command followed by the unit
designator A (default setting, ensure capital letter used).
When polled with the default Mode 14 factory setting the WindObserver (set for default
1Hz output) will output the last valid 10 minute wind speed and direction average,
updated every minute along with last valid 1 minute Gust magnitude.
If the unit is powered up and polled before the unit has reached its minimum averaging
interval the status code will read 51 (Measurement Average Building, non-heat enabled
units only).
The G Command setting has no effect on Mode 14 Settings.
