Winds on Final

One of our systems measures the wind column at 1500m and 2500m from threshold. It gives the wind speed and direction about every 5m in elevation, so one can see the wind shift.
There have been many questions regarding configuration settings regrading winds on final, so I have a general question.

If we are measuring the winds, and it shows a shift at say 400 feet, as an example from a tailwind to a crosswind, or headwind, what would be the best way to advise?

I am looking for an easy way for the crew to be advised of that condition and be able to set final config appropriately...

Thanks for any and all advice..
