1 FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing the WindSonic manufactured by Gill Instruments Limited. The
unit has no customer serviceable parts and requires no calibration or maintenance. To
achieve optimum performance we recommend that you read the whole of this manual before
proceeding with use. Do NOT remove black “rubber” transducer caps.
Gill products are in continuous development and therefore specifications may be subject to
change and design improvements without prior notice.
The information contained in this manual remains the property of Gill Instruments and
should not be copied or reproduced for commercial gain.
2 INTRODUCTION
The Gill WindSonic wind sensor is a very robust, lightweight unit with no moving parts,
outputting wind speed and direction. The units of wind speed, output rate and formats are all
user selectable.
The WindSonic can be used in conjunction with a PC, data logger or other device, provided
it is compatible with one of the standard communication formats provided by the
WindSonic.
WindSonic (option 2 or 3 only) is designed to connect directly to the Gill WindDisplay unit
to provide a complete wind speed direction system.
WindSonic (options 1, 2 and 3) may be configured using Wind software which is available,
free of charge, from the Gill website
www.gillinstruments.com . The output message format
can be configured in Gill format, in Polar or UV (2-axis) format, and to either Polled
(requested by host system) or Continuous output. Alternatively, it can be configured in
NMEA (0183 Version 3). These are described in Section 9 MESSAGE FORMATS.
WindSonic (option 4) SDI-12 may not be re-configured in any Gill output format and format
is SDI-12 (V1.3) and described in Section 14 SDI-12 COMMANDS.
3 FAST TRACK SET-UP
If you are in a hurry to try out the WindSonic (options 1, 2 or 3) and are familiar with Gill
equipment and coupling to a PC using RS232, go to the following sections:

Section 7 INSTALLATION

