Configuring Relative Wind Sensor

True & Relative information is subject to sensor’s calculations.
Wind Alarm can be setup at POPT page. A wind alarm indicator is available at all pages
The NMEA sentences related to wind are MWD, MWV, VWR
If MWV is available for both Rel and True NMEA data are enough to complete the Wind’s instrument configuration.
