MAX/AVG FUNCTIONS - Wind Speed & Wind Chill
These values are measured independently from stored and charted data to allow the
user to start and stop the averaging period in the manner most appropriate for their
application. Averaging on all wind-related values will be started and stopped together.
To measure these values:
• Press
or to scroll to a wind measurement screen, then use or to
select Min/Max/Avg screen.
• Press to begin collecting data.
• Press again to stop data collection and display the Maximum and Average
values.
This routine will work simultaneously for both measurements, regardless of which one is displayed
when run. No other Min/Max/Avg or stored data will be affected.
• To clear data, press when the screen says “— clear”.
Other measurements will display min / max / avg data based on the data stored in the log (using either
auto-stored or manually captured data). This data can be cleared by using “Reset MMA” under
memory options.
