### Weather Instrument Purpose

When an anemometer is connected, ECDIS displays wind characteristics according to the navigator's needs.

```{note}
An anemometer (wind sensor) is a navigational instrument for measuring wind speed and direction.

A **Wind** tab is displayed in the multi-function window.

Wind data is displayed in the **Navigational Panel**.

```{warning}
Depending on the connected navigational sensors and the type of anemometer, some wind types (true, apparent, relative) may be unavailable.
