Page 23: Average (Wind Only)
Normally wind information is reported in 10 minute average data. During specific changing conditions you will need to change to 2 minutes average. The OMC-140 can detect those conditions and change automatic between 10 & 2 minute average if ‘Marked Discontinuity’ is set in ‘Advanced Settings (default is off). - Page 24 Set the values for the ‘User’ settings at ‘Average’. For Wind Speed, Direction & Variation this is the Average interval in seconds. For Gust this is the reset time (Gust is always a 3s average). Valid values are 0 – 600 (seconds).
