Wind Speed

Strictly speaking there is no calibration procedure for Wind Speed but a Calibration Gain should be entered into the system so that the Wind Speed is in Meters per Second. The Wind Speed sensor will produce pulses as it rotates. The sensors documentation will indicate how many pulses per unit distance. For example the TruTrack Wind Speed Sensor gives 2 pulses per meter of wind run. A wind speed of 1 meter per second will give 2 pulses per second. So 1 m/s divided by 2 pulses per second gives us a gain of 0.5

The gain for the Windspeed Sensor should be calculated in this way then entered in the Gain area of the Calibration Box

Next select the units required using the Select button in the Units and Sxcaling Box

Then click on the Write Unit, Scaling and Calibration values to the Logger button
