4.2 WIND DIRECTION INSTRUCTION CODE
MetData1 uses Instruction 4 (excite, delay, and
measure) to measure wind direction. In
general, a delay of 2 (0.02 seconds) is sufficient
when lead lengths are less than 100 feet. If the
cable is 100 to 1000 feet, use a delay of 20
(0.20 seconds). If you need further assistance
with the delay, contact Campbell Scientific's
Marketing Department. The wind direction
potentiometer has a five degree deadband
between 355 and 360 degrees; therefore, the
multiplier is 355/Excitation Voltage. The offset
is zero.
