4.3 Unit Selection

To change measurement units:

• Wind Speed Units: Press the Wind button repeatedly to cycle through mph, ft/min, km/h, m/s, or knots.
• Temperature Units: Press the T/RH button to switch between Celsius (℃) and Fahrenheit (℉).
• Altitude Units: Press the Alt button to switch between meters (M) and feet (Ft).
• Barometric Pressure Units: Press the Baro button to switch between inHg and hpa mbar.

4.4 Wind Speed Measurement Modes

The device offers four wind speed measurement modes:

• Current: Displays the real-time wind speed.
• Maximum (MAX): Displays the highest wind speed recorded since power-on or reset.
• Minimum (MIN): Displays the lowest wind speed recorded since power-on or reset.
• Average (AVG): Displays the average wind speed recorded over a period.

To cycle through these modes, press the Mode button (after turning on the backlight, if needed, by a short press). A long press of the Mode button will activate/deactivate the backlight.

4.5 Data Logging (Barometer)

The AP-007WM can log up to 16 groups of barometric pressure data.

• To log the current barometric pressure reading, press and hold the Baro button for 3 seconds. The device will store the current reading.
• To review logged data, repeatedly short-press the Baro button after a long press to enter logging mode.

4.6 General Measurement Tips

• For accurate wind speed readings, ensure the fan blades are unobstructed and facing directly into the wind.
• Hold the device steady during measurements.
• Allow a few moments for readings to stabilize, especially for temperature and humidity.
