Figure 79 Additional Calculation Options
Setting Unit for Generic Sensors
Lizard Setup Software has internal information about predefined
sensors. This means it knows which sensor produces, for example, wind
speed or air temperature. This information is needed later when a unit
conversion is required or variable data sources are shown for a specific
calculation.
For example, in case of a wind calculation, Lizard shows only the data
sources whose output type is wind speed or wind direction.
You can also define the conversion unit for a generic sensor, for
example, a counter, frequency, or analog sensor. For generic sensors,
use the options in the Measure frame of the Measurements view.
Figure 80 on page 162 illustrates how to set the unit of frequency
measurement to meters per second.
Later in the setup, the measurement can be used like any predefined
sensor.
