The inclinometer is sampled at a rate of 2 Hz and is not necessarily synchronized with the wind
and sonic temperature data outputs. For applications that require correction for a moving
measurement platform (on a buoy or ship, for example), a separate fast-response inclinometer,
gyrometer, and accelerometer sensor should be used and sampled at the same rate as the
CSAT3BH wind measurements.
The outputs of the CSAT3BH integrated inclinometer can be viewed by connecting the USB data
cable to the CSAT3BH and a computer running Campbell Scientific
Device Configuration Utility
. It
can also be output using the CRBasic instruction
CSAT3BMonitor()
. See
75) for more information about setting this instruction.
