Weatherlink wind cup size and wind speed settings
 

Evening all,

I'm hoping some one can help me out with a couple of technical questions about Weatherlink.

I noticed last night whilst having a poke around, that there are 3 settings for wind cup size - large, small or Other (for Vantage Vue). It was set to large by default. I've only had my Vue set up for 10 days now but will there be any impact on the wind speed readings because of this?

Secondly, is there a way to display wind speed in mph to the nearest tenth? The console does this in the 2 min and 10 min average so it seems odd if you can't get the software to do the same.

Thanks,

Luke

I don't have a Vue but there are 2 cup sizes for the VP2, large being the
cups size on the standard anemometer. The VP2 itself reports wind speed in
whole mph so I imagine the Vue does too.
