SEN0657 Zero'ing wind issue

I need guidance on how to properly zero wind readings.  From your manual I see:

 

6001HWind speed zeroing register0x06Write 0xAA, wait for 10 seconds, and the device will be zeroed

 

I am passing the following to the unit:  0x01, 0x06, 0x60, 0x01,  0x00, 0xAA, 0x46, 0x75.   


The message appears to be acknowledged successfully (it is echo'd back two times).   I delay 10 seconds after this but am still not seeing the wind zero out.  What am I doing wrong???    I am testing at my desk so there is no wind!

 

 

 

Here's my datalog.  Note how the raw wind speed reading before/after sending the command is the same:

Your command is completely correct! If the sensor reading was already accurate, it’s totally normal for the value to stay the same after zeroing. Only if the sensor shows a non-zero wind speed even in perfectly still air and zeroing doesn’t correct it, then the sensor might be faulty.
