Lacrosse wind speed options

[sunray24]

Just confirming that Lacrosse models (I have a ws2355) send a single wind speed number in their logs?
- If I choose the "Use 10 min average wind speed" in the station settings, will that be the average out all individual readings over the past 10 minutes?
- Also does Cumulus average on all values including 0.0 or does it discount these (ie the 10 min average is the average speed of values above 0.0)?

Wind Gust value
- is this the highest individual wind speed sent to Cumulus during the 10 minute period.

Thanks
Scott

Yes, that's right.

Yes. There's also a cumulus.ini file option (which should be documented in the wiki) to change the 10 minutes to some other period of time.

- Also does Cumulus average on all values including 0.0 or does it discount these (ie the 10 min average is the average speed of values above 0.0)?

It includes all the values, including zero.

Wind Gust value
- is this the highest individual wind speed sent to Cumulus during the 10 minute period.

Yes - and again there is an ini-file option to change the 10 to something else.
