9. Select the desired output options.
10. Click Finish and save the program. Send the program to the data logger if the data logger
is connected to the computer.
11. If the sensor is connected to the data logger, check the output of the sensor in the data
display in
LoggerNet
,
RTDAQ
, or
PC400
to make sure it is making reasonable
measurements.
5. Overview
The
SnowVUE
10
measures
the
distance
from
the
sensor
to
a
target.
It
determines
this
distance
by
sending
ultrasonic
pulses
(50
kHz)
and
listening
for
the
returning
echoes
reflected
from
that
target.
The
time
from
pulse
transmission
to
echo
return
is
the
basis
for
obtaining
the
distance
measurement.
Since
the
speed
of
sound
in
air
varies
with
temperature,
an
independent
temperature
measurement
is
required
to
compensate
the
distance
reading.
The
SnowVUE
10
requires
an
external
temperature
sensor,
such
as
the
109,
to
provide
the
measurement.
The
SnowVUE
10
is
designed
for
extreme
cold
and
corrosive
environments,
and
it
meets
the
stringent
requirements
of
snow
depth
measurement.
Its
type
III
anodized
alumin
i
um
chassis
with
a
rugged
transducer
withstands
many
environments.
Combined,
these
features
make
the
SnowVUE
10
well
suited
for
a
wide
range
of
applications.
