Allowed Values 
Units 
Description 
msg1, msg2, 
msg3, msg4 
String with a 
maximum of 80 
characters. 
User-configurable data message formats. 
Parameters correspond to the message 
identification numbers from 1 to 4.  
serial_n 
Serial number for WMT700.  
This is a read-only parameter 
serial_pcb 
Circuit board serial number. 
This is a read-only parameter. 
sleepTime  
5 
0 = Disabled 
1 … 32000 
s 
Duration of the low-power mode in 
seconds. WMT700 returns automatically 
to normal state after this period of time 
has elapsed. You can also return to 
normal state by sending an extra space 
before the polling command. 
startDelay 
5 
0 … 30 
s 
Defines how long WMT700 waits before 
activating automatic messages at startup. 
wndAvg 
1 
0.25 … 3600 
Resolution: 0.25 
s 
Averaging time for wind measurement in 
seconds. This parameter affects both 
serial communication and analog output. 
wndCoast 
0 
0 … 100  
0 = Disabled 
m/s 
Wind direction coasting threshold in 
meters per second. When wind speed 
drops below the limit, wind direction 
coasting is performed.  
Only affects the scalar averaging mode. 
wndCover 
4 
0 ... 20 seconds 
s 
Defines how long WMT700 continues to 
report the last valid wind value if wind 
measurement fails (for example due to 
snow or birds). 0 means that if 
measurement fails, WMT700 reports 
missing measurement data immediately. 
wndDirOffset 
0 
-180… 180 degrees 
Deg 
User-defined wind direction offset. 
wndGustTime 
3 
0.25 … 10 
Resolution: 0.25 
s 
Averaging time for wind minimum and 
maximum in seconds.  
wndOrientation 
0 
0 = Array facing up 
1 = Array facing down 
Orientation of the transducer arms of 
WMT700. 
wndUnit 
0 
0 = m/s 
1 = mph 
2 = km/h 
3 = knots 
Wind speed unit. 
This parameter affects data messages 
sent through serial interfaces but has no 
impact on analog output. 
wndVector 
0 
0 = Scalar averaging 
1 = Vector averaging 
Wind averaging method
