Wind Speed and Direction Averaging
WMT700 provides average values for wind speed and direction using either scalar or vector
averaging. With both methods, the average is determined according to the user-
configurable averaging time. The averaging time aects serial communication and analog
output similarly.
You can also configure the gust averaging time for calculating wind extreme values. The
default gust averaging interval is 3 seconds, as recommended by World Meteorological
Organization (WMO).
If you select scalar averaging, you can also enable wind direction coasting to ensure
consistent direction measurement results at low wind speeds.
