North Alignment:
0-359 degrees
Sensor Windspeed:
ON or OFF
Wind Speed Units:
MS, KTS, MPH, KPH, FPM
(Metres/Second, Knots (Nautical Miles/Hour), Miles/Hour,
Kilometres/Hour, Feet/Minute)
No-Direction Wind Speed:
0.00m/s to 5.00m/s
Wind speed above which direction readings are output.
Short Term Average:
60 (10-60)
Configures WMO Short Term Average as the defined multiple of the
output rate i.e. AVGSHORT 10 is a rolling average of the last ten
outputs.
Long Term Average:
10 (1-10)
Configures WMO Long Term Average as the defined multiple of the
Short Term Average i.e. if AVGSHORT is 10 and AVGLONG is also 10,
Long Term Average is a rolling average of the last 100 outputs.
Compass Sensor:
ON or OFF
With Compass Sensor ON, Wind Direction readings corrected to
Magnetic North are output in the data string (CDIR). If set to OFF, the
field with Compass Corrected Direction reading is left blank.
Compass Declination:
+000.0
Declination is the magnetic declination (the angle between Magnetic
North and True North) in degrees. This is a correction factor that is
added to the Magnetic North heading from the compass. Map and
declination figures in decimal figures can be obtained from:

GPS Sensor:
ON or OFF (for GPS sensor output option units)
GPS Speed Units:
MS, KTS, MPH, KPH, FPM
