where

a

=

The sensor address.

<watchdog>

=

The number of times the watchdog has

<WS_unit>

= Wind speed unit. The options are:

+0 = mph

+1 = kt

+2 = km/h

Continuous Measurements (aR0!)

A sensor that is able to continuously monitor the phenomena to be
measured, does not require a start measurement command (M!). The data
can be read directly with the R0! command.

WS425 uses this command when the sensor is set to work in SDI-12
submode B. The command retrieves averaged wind data and gust wind
data. The averaging time window is selectable between 3 and 3600
seconds.

The command is the following:

aR0!

where

a

=

The sensor address.

R0

=

The send continuous measurements command.

!

=

Terminates the command.
