4.4 Tilt angle
The SkyVUE 8M is designed for vertical use, but can be angled slightly to keep sunlight from
shining directly into the sensor, particularly in tropical locations.
The SkyVUE 8M has tilt sensors in both axes to compensate the cloud height when the base is
not level. Set or disable cloud height compensation by using the
UNITS
command (
(p. 26)). This feature is useful for mobile or marine applications.
Backscatter profile data is NOT compensated but tilt angles are included in data messages.
NOTE:
Increasing the tilt angle beyond 24° can cause significant errors in vertical visibility
measurements if scatter coefficients vary significantly with height.
By default, tilting beyond 45° will trigger the tilt alarm in the output message.
