4. CONNECTION TO A PC OR OTHER DEVICE
Connection to a PC or other device requires the use of:
1.
Either a standard PCI
2.
Or a suitable alternative power supply and RS422 conversion unit, which meets the
specification of the anemometer.
2 cables will be required:
1.
Anemometer EU to PCI
2.
PCI to PC - RS232 or RS422
The PCI supplies power for the anemometer and provides conversion of the RS422 signal sent by the
EU and the RS232 signal required by a PC. The PCI requires connection to a mains power supply or
DC. Computers other than IBM PC’s or compatibles may require a customised cable for connection
to the PCI.
The anemometer outputs data through a connector on the EU. Data is provided in RS422 format only
and reconstituted to analogue if required at the PCI.
Baud rate options are:
1.
2400
2.
4800
3. 9600
4.
19200
5.
38400
6.
57600
7.
115200
Data format:
1. 8 data, 1 stop, no parity.
