Windrose

A windrose displays the wind direction both

numerically and graphically. The numerical

representation will always be three digits with

leading zeros.

The wind direction options allow you to

specify the monitor system that is to be the

source of the wind direction data plus a data

channel. The colour of the rose and of the pointer

can be specified via windrose options.

Graph

This displays a graph of one or

two data values against time.

If the data source is a

wind direction, then the axis can

display directions (as opposed to

numeric values) and covers 720

degrees to reduce the chance of

discontinuities when the direction

passes through north (0

o

).

Data source 1 and 2

options allow you to specify the

monitor systems that are to be

the sources of the data plus

relevant data channels. Trace 1 and 2 options specify the axis title and line

colour. The use of autoranging or a manual setting with minimum and

maximum range values can also be specified.

Timebase options allow you to display the values taken during the

most recent period, defined in terms of hours, minutes and seconds (up to 23

hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds).

When the time base is less then 4 hours, data is displayed at a 1

second resolution. When the time base is 4 or more hours, it is displayed at a

1 minute resolution.

Initially the graph will display any relevant data that has been logged

by the program in the time period that it is being displayed.

Realtime Windrose

This provides information about the wind

speed and direction. The data can be

overlaid on a bitmap image (usually a map).

A windrose is drawn, divided into

16 direction sectors filled in proportion to

the distance (time x speed) that the wind

has blown from the specified direction. In

addition, the text displayed at the top left of

the item is automatically produced, and

shows the prevailing wind direction and the total wind run.
