The gust value is transmitted at the transmit interval using the Data Tag + 1.
The Data Tag used will be displayed in the title.
Note that the Data Tags are represented as hexadecimal
values so adding 1 to the base Data Tag may not result in
an obvious new Data Tag. After digits 0-9 come letters A-F.

The wind speed gust value is optional and can selected by choosing a gust
sample period from Disabled, 1, 3, 5 or 10 seconds.
The gust value transmitted is the maximum average wind speed measured
within the rolling window as defined by the gust sample period.
For example, the transmit interval may be 30 seconds and the gust sample
period may be 5 seconds so that every 30 seconds the gust value transmitted
would be the maximum average wind speed seen within any 5 second period
since the previous transmission.
Unless the transmitter module is non battery powered this should be set to Yes.
In between transmissions the transmitter module will enter low power mode
which will have a large effect on battery life.
A Reason for not using Low Power Mode would be if using the module in a
Master-Slave arrangement with PC for example.
This is not a parameter of the module but information used by the battery life
guide. You can choose from some preset batteries or choose custom to allow
you to select your own battery capacity. See below. This will also offer to change
the Battery Low Level if the level suitable for the chosen battery is not the level
currently set.
This is not a parameter of the module but information used by the battery life
guide. This is the capacity of the battery in Amp Hours and has a profound
effect on battery life calculations. This capacity needs to be calculated from
battery manufacturer's data sheets to take into account that you can only use
batteries down to 2.1 volts so in the case of twin AA cells this would be 1.05
volts.
Generally the usable capacity will not be as high as that advertised by the
battery manufacturer. Temperature and internal resistance of the battery are not
taken into account in the guide.
Enter the number of hours per 24 hour period that the module will be turned on
and transmitting.
