In particular, wind measurement typically consumes 60 mW average power (with 4 Hz
sampling ra
te), throughout the averaging period. In the Continuous mode (aXU=M,R) the
power consumption is determined by the internal update intervals of the sensors and wind
averaging time. These have certain limits, so very long measurement intervals cannot be
achieved with this mode. Also the power consumption between the measurements is about
three times that of the Native mode.
