When you select vector averaging, WMT700 calculates wind speed and direction averages by adding up each x velocity and y velocity measurement from the averaging time and then dividing the sum by the number of measurements. WMT700 converts the resultant average x velocity and average y velocity to polar direction and magnitude, which returns the wind direction average in degrees and wind speed average in the chosen units.

If the data acquisition system requests data before the initial averaging time completes, the sensor returns the most recent complete measurement data.
