10. CONFIGURING AND VIEWING DATA
It is strongly recommended that
WIND
software (available free from the Gill website
www.gillinstruments.com
) is used
to configure the WindMaster.
A less preferred option for configuring is using a terminal emulation package, using command codes.
These are both described in the sections below.
Note
Certain combinations of output rate, baud rate and message type may be unsupported.

Configuring with Gill WIND software
Download the
WIND
software from the Gill website
www.gillinstruments.com
.
Assuming the WindMaster has been correctly connected to the PC and a Power Supply, the opening menu will show the
WindMaster in Measurement mode. A short Start message will be displayed, followed by continuous wind information
displayed - the default setting being
Polar
, with the unit of measure
Metres per second
(m/s).
If a message similar to the one below is displayed, click
Tools
and
Synch Comms
in the tool bar and the system will be
synchronised and correct data displayed.
If after Synch Comms there is still a problem with start-up, switch power to anemometer off and then on again and
repeat procedure.
