The
CSAT3B()
instruction should appear in the main scan of the CRBasic program operating in
pipeline mode.
Destination
This variable will store the values returned by the anemometer. The destination variable must be
declared as a float (default) with at least five elements. The CSAT3BH returns the following data in
response to a measurement trigger:
l
u
x
— x-axis wind speed in meters per second (m·s
-1
)
l
u
y
— y-axis wind speed in meters per second (m·s
-1
)
l
u
z
— z-axis wind speed in meters per second (m·s
-1
)
l
T
s
— Sonic temperature in degrees Celsius (°C)

Diagnostic word
Bus
This parameter determines whether the communications to the CSAT3BH are done via the SDM
or CPI bus. A 0 indicates SDM and a 1 indicates CPI. This parameter must be a constant. If this is
set to 0, the
CSAT3BMode
parameter must also be set to 0 since the SDM protocol does not
support Mode 1 operation or the use of bandwidth filters.
CSAT3BAddress
This parameter identifies the unique address of the CSAT3BH on the communication bus. For
SDM, this number may be in the range of 1 to 14. For CPI, this number may be in the range 1 to
120. This parameter must be a constant.
CSAT3BMode
This parameter controls whether the CSAT3BH will operate in Mode 0 or Mode 1 (as described in
(p. 66)). This parameter must be a constant and may have one of the following values: 0,
5, 10, or 25.
(p. 75) lists the meaning of each of these values.
