Gauges
Wind Chill Gauge
This gauge uses a needle to indicate the
wind chill temperature with a digital readout
at the bottom. Note that Wind Chill
information only appears when the air
temperature is less than 10°C (50°F) and
the wind speed is greater than 2.6Kn
(3MPH). If there is an active humidity
sensor, the Wind Chill gauge will be replace by the Heat Index gauge when the air
temperature is at least 26.7°C (80°F) and the relative humidity is greater than 40%.
To view historical wind chill data, right click the gauge. A graph will appear as
shown. To return to the Wind Chill gauge, right click the graph.
Heat Index Gauge
This gauge uses a needle to indicate the
heat index temperature with a digital
readout at the bottom. Note that Heat
Index data appears only when the air
temperature is at least 26.7°C (80°F) and
the relative humidity is greater than 40%.
To view historical heat index data, right click the gauge. A graph will appear as
shown. To return to the Heat Index gauge, right click the graph.
Air Temperature Gauge
This gauge uses a needle to indicate the air
temperature. There is also a digital readout at
the bottom.
To view historical air temperature data,
right click the gauge. A graph will appear
as shown. To return to the Air Temperature
gauge, right click the graph.
Apparent Wind Gauge
This gauge uses needles to indicate the
apparent wind speed and direction relative
to the front of a vehicle or bow of a boat.
The long needle points to the wind speed,
and the short needle points to the wind
direction. There is also a digital readout at
the bottom.
To view historical apparent wind speed data, right click the gauge. A graph will
appear as shown. To return to the Apparent Wind gauge, right click the graph.
