The type of station you linked will measure wind, has a built in data logger and, a PC is not required to be running. I posted the Inspeed equipment because you appeared to be interested in your OP with wind data and data logging only. Complete weather stations such as the Amazon WeatherEye / Ambient weather (Fine Offset), LaCrosse, Acu-Rite, Davis, Rainwise, etc. all do this but some may not have data logging included so be aware when shopping.
