Finally we are back in on-line with with correct wind measurements again. It might be interesting for you to know that the issue was hardware related describes as "I think 180 degrees is where the potentiometer transitions from a high resistance to a low resistance. It sounds at though there may be an issue with the potentiometer." The anemometer was replaced under warranty by Scaled Instruments <https://www.scaledinstruments.com>. Super service and responsiveness from Ryan Wilhour!!!!!
