* The highest of the Fine Offset 'Gust' values over the previous 10 (number fixed and not configured to match any other interval set) minutes becomes what Cumulus | * The highest of the Fine Offset 'Gust' values over the previous 10 (number fixed and not configured to match any other interval set) minutes becomes what Cumulus reports as the 'Gust' speed ('<#wgust>'). Cumulus does not report a matching direction for this as a web tag, although it will be somewhere in array '<#wdirdata>'. | ||
* The value labelled 'Latest' by Cumulus is Fine Offset console 'Gust' value. | * The value labelled 'Latest'('<#wlatest>', matching direction is '<#currentwdir>' and '<#bearing>') by Cumulus is Fine Offset console 'Gust' value. (Cumulus also adds each new latest value to the array <#wspddata> and moves the index of the array <#nextwindindex> onto the next position in the circular array. | ||
* The Cumulus 'Average' | * The Cumulus 'Average' ('<#wspeed>' matching direction reported as '<#wdir>' and '<#avgbearing>') can be calculated in 3 different ways: | ||
** The default: If 'Calculate 10-min wind average' is not selected on the Station Settings screen, the console 'Wind' value is reported. | ** The default: If 'Calculate 10-min wind average' is not selected on the Station Settings screen, the console 'Wind' value is reported. | ||
** If 'Calculate 10-min wind average' is selected, but 'Use speed for avg calculation' is left un-selected; then the average of the Fine Offset 'Gust' values read over the previous N (configurable, defaults to 10) minutes is reported. | ** If 'Calculate 10-min wind average' is selected, but 'Use speed for avg calculation' is left un-selected; then the average of the Fine Offset 'Gust' values read over the previous N (configurable, defaults to 10) minutes is reported. | ||
