Wind Direction Output

When wind direction is measured, WMT700 sends analog output as
simulated potentiometer output voltage referred to as external reference
voltage. The output is a proportional signal 0 ... 100 % of the reference
voltage representing the wind direction. The reference voltage must be in
the range of 1.0 to 4.0 VDC (WMS425) or 0…10 VDC (WMT700). The
output is 0 VDC at zero degrees and increases to the reference voltage at
359 degrees.

Figure 12 on page 38 shows the output for wind direction. With
WMT700, the wind direction signal appears at pin 13 (gray), similarly to
the WS425 wind sensor.
