Configuring Relative Wind Sensor

Picture
The Wind Speed & Direction Indicator operates in both Relative and True mode, by pressing the dedicated button. The Green LED on top of buttons indicates the active mode.

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. 

    
$WIMWV- Wind Speed and Angle with Data Status. (ANGLE RELATED TO SHIP’S BOW) according to Standard IEC 61162-1 2000
