7.6 Sensor Check-Out
With the datalogger measuring the sensor, 020C output moves up-scale as the
vane rotates clockwise (as seen from above the sensor). Output will progress
up-scale until the 360
° (full scale) mark has been reached. Output then drops
to near 0
°. When the notches on the rotating hub and the column of the sensor
are exactly aligned, the output will be 180
°.
