WA — Fetch Averaged Wind Speed and Direction
This command requests the averaged wind speed and direction message
with peak winds.
WA <CR><LF>
The response to the WA command consists of the averaged wind speed
and direction data, peak wind speed, and associated direction. The
average wind speed is a scalar running average of the fundamental
1-second interval wind speed measurement made by WMT700. For a
description of the data message, see section WS425 F/G ASOS Data
Message on page 48.
You can set the wind averaging time and gust time with the wndAvg and
wndGustTime parameters. Set the wndVector parameter to 0 to use
scalar averaging.
The command also fetches the WMT700 status, the averaging time for
average and peak wind speed and wind direction, and signal quality.
