Syncpoll 1 Mode Notes
Syncpoll 1 is set up as follows:-
Open Wind Software.
Type * or *<N> (if already in a polled mode) to enter CONFIGURATION MODE.
Type Syncpoll 1 and press Enter (note there is a space between Syncpoll and 1).
Type Q and press Enter to go to SyncPoll 1 measurement mode.
To check the current Syncpoll setting when in configuration mode type Syncpoll and press return. The unit will respond
with 1 or 0.
Receipt of poll command will trigger a single 50mS or 31.25mS ultrasonic measurement and at the same time will
trigger a Wind measurement output resultant from the previous polled measurement.
The minimum Poll command rate is 20Hz.
Analogue inputs are not supported in Syncpoll 1 mode.
RS485 Networking Examples
Use of a PC with integrated RS485 PCI Card
In tests four WM/WMP were connected to a PC PCI card and using a single RS485 2-wire port 20Hz data was collected
from each sensor. The sensors were set to 57600 baud.
Use of a Data Logger
In tests two sets of two WindMaster (or WindMaster Pro’s) were connected to two individual RS485 2-wire ports on a
data logger that allowed 20Hz data to be collected from all four sensors. The wind sensors were set to 57600 baud,
contact Gill Instruments for further details if required.
