Vantage pro 2 (Metric) - Wind Speed Question

Darknstormy · **Posted:** Thu Apr 21, 2011 5:58 am

Hi everyone,

does anyone know if the console can be set to show wind speed as (3.2kmh) instead of just 3kmh ect... it only seems to show whole wind speed and I can't find it in the manual anywhere so im guessing no

Cheers
Lyle

The station has a resolution of 1 mph/kt/kmh, so that's what it displays. There's no way to change the console to display it any other way.

Thanks Steve,

I was looking through the manual and in one of the pictures it shows 3.2mph so just thought it could be done

Yes, I think whoever created that image was confusing mph with m/s, which does allow a decimal place to be shown.

Yeah that makes sense... Thats ok your awesome program tells me

:D:D

It will only show up in decimals after setting it to the m/s unit.
Then you will see values like 1.8 and so on.

But it would be much nicer, if they had build it to show km/h and mp/h with decimals.

I think they're just recognising the accuracy of the anemometer, unlike other manufacturers who display decimals when their sensors don't really live up to it.
