Topic: WS80 cal button

[Rocketman]

Why does the WS80 have a CAL button ?
Is it used for calibrating ?

[Gyvate]

yes, for calibrating zero speed if necessary.

Adding, if like the WS90, which I am sure this is, you want to do the calibration is a static environment, NO AIR MOVEMENT, so a box or enclosure would be preferred. Just using the button in situ , or where it is placed , not recommended.

Frankly, I have needed to calibrate the WS90, and from a bunch of previous posts, I don't see anyone needing to calibrate the WS80.

Hey, curiosity is good, just don't get the impulse to use a button because it exists.

  Lucky, I haven't pressed the CAL button
Now I know what it is used for

I had to calibrate the WS90 too. Additional: after each firmware update of the unit itself, I calibrate it, to know I'm sure the zero wind baseline is set correctly. In the last firmware eg. there were optimizations made for low wind speeds. Therefore used the calibration button to make sure the low wind speeds were reset and properly detected.

It is almost cruel to put a button on something then tell people not to push it.

This should be more appropriate in my case, not exactly a button ( but the result is generally the same ):
