Ventus / Ventus-X / V200A
 
  Chapter 8 Measurement Output  12 
8.4  Wind Speed 
Sampling rate    250ms; 1 – 10 seconds 
Generation of average value  1 – 60 measurements 
Generation of maximum value  1 – 60 measurements based on the internal second  
    measurement values 
Units    m/s; km/h; mph; kts 
Response threshold    0.1 m/s (metal) or 0.3 m/s (plastics) 
Request channels: 
Note: In order to transmit the current measurement value the second measurement values are 
averaged over the sampling rate. 
8.4.1  Wind Gust Speed (WMO Specification) 
Sampling Rate      250ms 
Generation of Value    Highest 3sec average of the last 10min 
Request channels: 
Note: With extended sampling rates (50ms / 100ms) the evaluation of wind gust is deactivated. 
The channels will show status “channel off” (0x36) 
8.5  Wind Direction 
Sampling rate    250ms; 1 – 10 seconds 
Generation of average value  1 – 60 measurements 
Generation of maximum value  1 – 60 measurements based on the internal second  
    measurement values Unit    ° 
Response threshold    0.1 m/s (metal) or 0.3 m/s (plastics) 
Request channels: 
Note: In order to transmit the current measurement value the second measurement values are 
averaged over the sampling rate. 
 
The minimum / maximum wind direction indicates the direction at which the minimum / 
maximum wind speed was measured. 
The wind gust direction is the vector average of the direction measured during the highest 3sec 
speed average of the last 10min.
