Appendix B. Serial Communications with the CSAT3 TABLE B-2. RS-232 Output Word 0 b15 - b0 ux wind Word 1 b15 - b0 uy wind Word 2 b15 - b0 uz wind Word 3 b15 - b0 c b15 b14 b13 b12 diagnostic flags Word 4 b11 b10 b09 b08 ux range uy range b07 b06 uz range b05 - b00 counter B.3 Words 0 through 3 The ux, uy, and uz wind speeds are reported on one of four different ranges. This range is given by bits b11 through b06 in word 4. In order to decode the wind speed, first look at the wind speed range code, then decode the data with the appropriate equations given in TABLE B-3 through TABLE B-6. The data in words 0 through 3 must first be converted into a base 10 representation before applying the equations in TABLE B-3 through TABLE B-6. TABLE B-3.

The relationship to find the speed of sound is given in TABLE B-6. Word 3 must be converted to a base 10 representation before applying the equation. B-4
