if record generation is hardware you will get 16 discrete wind direction values and windspeed to the nearest 1 mph (1.6 kph).
If record generation is software you will get a weewx average of the loop wind directions (sum of direction / number of readings) which could be any value, and will not be discrete to the nearest 1 mph and the direction will be sum of directions / number of readings in interval which will be a greater number of values.
