7  Generation of Measurements 
7.1  Current Measurement (act) 
In accordance with the specified sampling rate, the value of the last measurement is transmitted 
when the current measurement value is requested. Each measurement is stored in a circular 
buffer for the subsequent calculation of minimum, maximum and average values. 
7.2  Minimum and Maximum Values (min and max) 
When requesting the minimum and maximum values, the corresponding value is calculated - via 
the circular buffer at the interval specified in the configuration (1- 60 measurements) - and 
transmitted. 
Note: In the case of wind direction, the minimum / maximum value indicates the direction at 
which the minimum / maximum wind speed was measured. 
7.3  Average Value (avg) 
When requesting the average value, this is calculated - via the circular buffer at the interval 
specified in the configuration (1 - 60 measurements) - and transmitted. In this way moving 
averages can also be calculated. 
7.4  Vectorial Average Value (vct) 
In the specific case of wind measurement, measurements are calculated vectorially. To this 
end, the average values of the vectors are generated internally. Hence the value (wind speed) 
and angle (wind direction) of the vector are calculated. 
 
 
Note: On delivery, the interval for the calculation of minimum, maximum and average values is 
set at 60 measurements. If necessary, this can be adjusted to the particular requirements with 
the aid of the UMB-Config-Tool (see page 28).
