The sensor measures the wave height, period and direction. It is powered on at 35 minutes past the hour and observes the waves for a duration of 20 minutes and then reports an averaged value at the top of the hour.

An average of the duration of sampling is reported to the Watchman500 in ASCII strings, which is sent to a shoreside server at the top of the hour via a cellular antenna. Once at the server, the data is processed (including assigning Qa/Qc flags) and then uploaded to the website in real-time.
