Pitot tube measure mainly of
1) Point Velocity and 2) Total pressure.
And always remember that total pressure and stagnation pressure is the same, i.e. Static Pressure+ and Dynamic Pressure.

Pitot tubes were invented by Henri Pitot in 1732 to measure the flowing velocity of fluids. Basically a differential pressure (d/p) flow meter, a pitot tube measures two pressures: the static and the total impact pressure.
