Wind Mode
The wind direction is shown by an animated compass display. Its angle can be displayed
as compass points (i.e. NW) or in bearings from the north (i.e. 22.5º).
The upper left of the wind display can be set to indicate the temperature at the anemom-
eter or the temperature adjusted with a wind chill factor.
The lower left of the wind display indicates the average wind speed for the last 10 minutes,
as well as gust, wind speed alert and gust alert information. It can also show records of the
maximum values of wind speed and gust attained for the current day.
The wind speed and gust alert functions can be programmed to sound if the wind speed or
