Troubleshooting: Corrupted Data File

If for some reason the anemometer database file becomes corrupted so you can't open it or analyze the data, you can dump the data from that file into a new, uncorrupted file with the command:

$ sqlite3 old_file.db .recover | sqlite3 new_file.db

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.
