CSAT3B Three-Dimensional Sonic Anemometer
8.2 Operating Modes
The CSAT3B has different operating modes that are selected based on the
desired measurement trigger source, presence of a data filter, and type of data
output. Specifically, the following four modes are available:
•
Mode 1: Datalogger-triggered | No filter | Datalogger-prompted output
•
Mode 2: Self-triggered | Filtered | Datalogger-prompted output
• Mode 3: Self-triggered | No filter | Unprompted output to PC
•
Mode 4: Self-triggered | Filtered | Unprompted output to PC
The mode is selected using the
Device Configuration Utility
under the
Measurement Settings tab (see Section 7.1, Settings, for details on viewing and
selecting settings). TABLE 8-1 gives a summary of the CSAT3B operating
modes. The following sections give more information on the measurement
trigger, data filters, and data output as a guide to selecting the appropriate
mode. Mode 1 is the default operating mode for the CSAT3B and is
recommended when fluxes are the primary interest.
