This status provides information on the CSAT3's Trigger Source and the Execution Parameter. It also indicates if the analog outputs are on/off, if the CSAT3 is reporting good data, and serial number of the CSAT3. This software serial number matches those on the anemometer head and electronics box. B-5

A flag is on if the bit is set high.
All the

The anemometer path length may have been altered
or the anemometer head is broken.

Poor signal lock
There may be an obstruction in the anemometer path
or on the transducer face.
b13
Sonic signal amplitude too high
An obstruction, in the anemometer path or on the
transducer face, was removed.
b12
Sonic signal amplitude too low
There may be an obstruction in the anemometer path
or on the transducer face.
Bits b11 through b06 are used in determining the range of the wind speed
reported in words 0 through 2.
Bits b05 through b00 are a diagnostic counter.
This counter increments once
