Based on the data received from the measurement site, the display calculates and displays the following wind speed and wind direction values:

Table 1. Wind data
Data field	Unit	Formatting
Wind direction: Instant (3‑second average) 2‑minute average 10‑minute variation 10‑minute average 2‑minute variation (MET page wind rose only)	ATC: degrees (magnetic North)	`ddd` or empty ¹ Resolution 10° Preceding zeros
	MET: degrees (true North)	`ddd` or empty ¹ Resolution 10° Preceding zeros
Wind speed: Instant (3‑second average) 2‑minute average 10‑minute average 10‑minute minimum 10‑minute maximum (Gust)	m/s	`[P][n]n` or `CALM` Resolution 1 m/s or 0.1 m/s ICAO CALM rule ²
	kt	`[P][n]n` or `CALM` Resolution 1 kt or 0.1 kt ICAO CALM rule ²
	km/h	`[P][n]n` or `CALM` Resolution 1 km/h or 0.1 km/h CALM rule ²

For correct functioning of the wind direction data, the wind sensor alignment and station declination must have been configured correctly.

¹ If 2‑minute average wind speed is CALM, the 2‑minute average wind direction is not displayed.

² CALM wind speed is indicated as CALM when wind speed is less than 1 knot (0.5 m/s).
