OPERATION 
This chapter contains information on WMT700 operating commands, 
protocols and data messages. 
Getting Started 
After WMT700 has been installed and configured, you can start 
operating the wind sensor as follows: 
-  To receive wind measurement data through a serial connection as data 
messages, use serial communication.  
When using the WMT700 profile, see the operating instructions in this 
section. 
When using WS425 or SDI-12 profiles, see the operating instructions 
in Upgrading from Vaisala WINDCAP
