Maximum Merlin
Are you looking for a wind instrument that does it all in an easy-to-read digital display? Merlin gives you real time wind readings as well as peak and average wind speed and direction while also forecasting trending wind speed.
Digital readings are given in four modes: ‘Present’ displays existing wind conditions; ‘Peak’ gives speed and direction of highest gust since last reset; ‘Average’ reveals average wind speed and direction since last reset; and ‘Forecast’ compares the most recent 12-minute average wind speed with the average for the previous 12 minutes.
