Ensure no obstructions are present to ensure accurate wind speed readings.
Wind speed will always be entered in the “Wind Speed (m/s)” field labeled “1”, representing wind speed at the shooting position. Field “2” will not need be utilized with UNITAFs server settings.
Interpreting Direction
The AtragMX accepts wind direction in clock direction values as read when facing the target. See [[576]] for further guidance. The determined clock direction value will be manually entered into the “Wind Direction (clock)” field in the AtragMX as depicted below.
