The Vue is really not fit for that purpose, that being 33 foot in the air

The only real option for a Vue is to add a 6410 anemometer and 6332 transmitter, but appreciate that's a significant cost. (Obviously the anemometer would then be the only item mounted up high to maximise wind speed readings, while the Vue ISS would be relocated much closer to ground level to optimise the other readings.)

Sorry, but I don't usually have time to help with individual issues by email unless you are a Prodata customer. Please post your issue in the relevant forum section here & I will comment there if I have anything useful to add.
