Met One 034B Wind Set

The dataloggers can also measure wind speed on a control port. With this

option the black wire is connected to the 5 V terminal.

A 034B-L Wind Set purchased directly from Met One Instruments

has a different configuration on the 6-pin connector. In addition,

they do not have the 10 kΩ resistance on the excitation line. The

wiring diagram and the multiplier and offset, for wind direction,

are different than the examples in this document.

7.4 Programming

Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date datalogger programming code.

Programming code is needed,

when creating a program for a new datalogger installation

when adding sensors to an existing datalogger program

If your data acquisition requirements are simple and you are connecting the

sensor to a pulse port, you can probably create and maintain a datalogger

program exclusively with Short Cut. If your data acquisition needs are more

complex, the files that Short Cut creates are a great source for programming

code to start a new program or add to an existing custom program.

Short Cut cannot edit programs after they are imported and edited

in CRBasic Editor.

A Short Cut tutorial is available in Section 4.2, Step 2—Use Short Cut to

Program Datalogger and Generate Wiring Diagram. If you wish to import

Short Cut code into CRBasic Editor to create or add to a customized program,

follow the procedure in Appendix A.1, Importing Short Cut Code into a

Program Editor. Programming basics for CRBasic dataloggers are provided in

the following sections. Complete program examples for select CRBasic

dataloggers can be found in Appendix B, Example Program. Programming

basics and programming examples for Edlog dataloggers are provided at

www.campbellsci.com/old-manuals

.

7.4.1 Wind Speed

Wind speed is measured with the

Pulse Count instruction, using the Switch

Closure configuration and set to output frequency in Hertz (see Appendix B,

Example Program, for examples).
