Configuring Ultrasonic Anemometer USA-1

Communications Setup

The ultrasonic anemometer is connected to the QML logger through an
RS-422 or RS-232 serial line. Follow METEK's instructions when
selecting cabling for the desired mode.

The default data transmission parameters are the following: 9600 bps, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
.

For more information on wiring of the RS-485 and RS-232 options,
refer to the delivery-specific wiring diagrams. For more information on
configuring serial ports, see Vaisala HydroMet™ Data Collection
Platform User’s Guide, Volume 2.

NOTE

The unit for wind speed is cm/s in the message received from the
ultrasonic anemometer. The QML logger automatically converts the
unit to m/s, which is the standard unit for measuring wind speed.
