General Information

...

Analog outputs are then connected to the T7:
U - channel 1 - AIN0
V - channel 2 - AIN1
W - channel 3 - AIN2
sonic speed - channel 4 - AIN3

To change the analog output settings, connect a RS 432 serial port to a windows computer and to the anemometer outputs.

For the serial connector we were using, pin 2 was white, pin 3 was yellow, pin 5 was orange, but apparently this isn't necessarily generically true.

The windows computer should have WIND software downloaded on it. Follow p. 46 of the manual.

But response is highly nonlinear and also depends on temperature so we need a temp-and-windspeed calibration surface to be mapped out

Better version, same width of board and same pinout- 3/19/22

Their version P device is now in stock. Ordered ten of them.

Has hardware compensation for temperature, at least to first order

But note needs 12V suuply, not 5V like the rev C
