3.3.9. "LIVE MODE" menu, call up the current weather data flow

In this mode, another key of the combi-sensor can be prompted to send its mea- surement data for 20 seconds at 2 seconds interval. Thus, at the press of a key one has the latest weather data and can thus follow the wind direction and the trend of wind velocity for say 20 seconds.

As the combi-sensor frequently goes into the receive mode when the "LIVE MODE" is activated, its power consumption increases and this has an effect on the life of the battery. Hence you can use the "LIVE MODE" to set a period for which the "LIVE MODE" should be activated.

In this period, the main menu bar will show the additional "REQ" key that was used to query the above-mentioned live data.
