Supported datagram formats for wind information
A wind sensor can be connected to the sonar system. The sensor provides the direction and speed of the wind
The following datagram formats are supported:
NMEA MWD
The NMEA MWD datagram provides the direction from which the wind blows across the earth's surface. The wind direction is related to north. The datagram also offers the wind speed.
NMEA MWV
The NMEA MWV datagram provides the direction from which the wind blows relative to the vessel's centre line.
NMEA VWR
The NMEA VWR datagram provides the wind angle in relation to the vessel's heading, and the wind speed measured relative to the moving vessel. This datagram format is not recommended for use in new designs. It has been replaced by the MWV datagram format.
