In this mode, the output is given as signed (i.e. positive or negative) speeds along the
‘U’ (= South – North) axis.
Where:
<STX> = Start of string character (ASCII value 2)
WindSonic node address = Unit identifier
U axis = U axis Wind Speed
U axis = U axis Wind Direction Polarity
where 0 ( –U vector) is a wind from the North
direction or 1 (+U vector) is a wind from the South
direction.
