[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1101653, member: 33822"] Good info, thanks for passing along. Can you explain whats going wrong when you get a wind reading like you describe above? Are you giving the impeller more time to spin up? When I get a wind reading I certainly don't wait to see a maximum reading, I will hold the meter into the wind and constantly watch the reading change over time and get a feel for an average. See what the minimum and maximum is then figure out what the wind speed is doing the majority of the time, and then use that number in my computer and take the shot when the wind is in that zone. I have no doubt you guys have spent a lot more time than I have figuring all of this out, so I'm just curious where the error is coming from in how I'm doing it. From reading your instructions I'm guessing I'll be generating wind speeds that are too high ?? [/QUOTE]
