7.2 Bench system test
Note: Prior to physically mounting the WindSonic in its final location, we
strongly recommend that a bench system test is carried out to confirm the
system is configured correctly, is fully functional and electrically
compatible with the selected host system and cabling (preferably utilising
the final cable length). The required data format, units, output rate, and
other options should also all be set up at this stage.
