Clicking on the Anemometer 1 Windsock button gives the following display.

To Change WindView Display Settings

Click on the top of Screen menu Settings.

To change displayed units select and click on required measurement units. If for instance the
sensor data was outputting metres per second data then WindView performs the calculation
to convert and display the output in knots/mph/kph etc.
