CSAT3B Three-Dimensional Sonic Anemometer The inclinometer is sampled at a rate of 2 Hz and is not necessarily synchronized with the wind and sonic temperature data outputs. For applications that require correction for a moving measurement platform (on a buoy or ship, for example), a separate fast-response inclinometer, gyrometer, and accelerometer sensor should be used and sampled at the same rate as the CSAT3B wind measurements. The outputs of the CSAT3B integrated inclinometer can be viewed by connecting the USB data cable (pn 30179) to the CSAT3B and a PC computer running Campbell Scientific's Device Configuration Utility. It can also be output using the CRBasic instruction CSAT3BMonitor. See Section 8.4.1.2, CSAT3BMonitor(), for more information about setting this instruction. FIGURE 7-5.

CSAT3B Three-Dimensional Sonic Anemometer
The inclinometer is sampled at a rate of 2 Hz and is not necessarily
synchronized with the wind and sonic temperature data outputs.
For
applications that require correction for a moving measurement platform (on a
buoy or ship, for example), a separate fast-response inclinometer, gyrometer,
and accelerometer sensor should be used and sampled at the same rate as the
CSAT3B wind measurements.
The outputs of the CSAT3B integrated inclinometer can be viewed by
connecting the USB data cable (pn 30179) to the CSAT3B and a PC computer
running Campbell Scientific’s
Device Configuration Utility
. It can also be
output using the CRBasic instruction CSAT3BMonitor.
See Section 8.4.1.2,
CSAT3BMonitor()
, for more information about setting this instruction.

7.5.1 Fine-Wire Thermocouple
A fine-wire thermocouple (model FW05 with a FWC-L cable, TC cover, and
TC cover backplate) can be mounted to the side of the anemometer block to
measure temperature fluctuations.
