WMT700 NMEA MWV Data Message 
WMT700 NMEA MWV data message is as follows: 
$<id>MWV,<dir>,<ref>,<spd>,<uni>,<sta>*<chk><CR><LF> 
where 
$ 
 = 
Message header 
<id> 
 = 
Two character sensor ID; AA … ZZ 
MWV 
 = 
Fixed text 
<dir> 
 = 
Wind angle: 0 to 359 degrees 
<ref> 
 = 
Reference: 
R = Relative 
<spd> 
 = 
Wind speed 
<uni> 
 = 
Wind speed unit: 
K = K
ilometers per hour 
M = M
eters per second 
N = Knots 
<sta> 
 = 
Status: 
A = V
alid data  
V = Invalid data 
* 
 = 
Fixed text 
<chk> 
 = 
Checksum (8-bit XOR, excluding $ and *) 
<CR> 
 =

<LF> 
 = 
Line feed code, ASCII 0AH 
Example of the command and response: 
$IIWIQ,MWV*2F<CR><LF> 
$WIMWV,045,R,011.63,N,A*09<CR><LF> 
Interpretation of the example message: 
-  Talker ID "II" queries the WMT700 NMEA MWV message 
from sensor which has address parameter set to "WI". 
-  WMT700 responds with talker ID "WI" and the requested 
MWV message. The reported relative wind direction is 045 
degrees and the wind speed is 11.63 knots. 
Missing Readings 
If data is missing due to a measurement problem, the NMEA 
messages show "V" in the status field. Wind speed and wind 
direction fields are left empty.
