CSAT3B Three-Dimensional Sonic Anemometer 8.2 Operating Modes The CSAT3B has different operating modes that are selected based on the desired measurement trigger source, presence of a data filter, and type of data output. Specifically, the following four modes are available: • Mode 1: Datalogger-triggered | No filter | Datalogger-prompted output • Mode 2: Self-triggered | Filtered | Datalogger-prompted output • Mode 3: Self-triggered | No filter | Unprompted output to PC • Mode 4: Self-triggered | Filtered | Unprompted output to PC The mode is selected using the Device Configuration Utility under the Measurement Settings tab (see Section 7.1, Settings, for details on viewing and selecting settings). TABLE 8-1 gives a summary of the CSAT3B operating modes. The following sections give more information on the measurement trigger, data filters, and data output as a guide to selecting the appropriate mode. Mode 1 is the default operating mode for the CSAT3B and is recommended when fluxes are the primary interest. FIGURE 8-1. Measurement settings in Device Configuration Utility 45

Operating Modes
The CSAT3B has different operating modes that are selected based on the
desired measurement trigger source, presence of a data filter, and type of data
output.
Specifically, the following four modes are available:
Mode 1:
Datalogger-triggered | No filter | Datalogger-prompted output
Mode 2:
Self-triggered | Filtered | Datalogger-prompted output
Mode 3:
Self-triggered | No filter | Unprompted output to PC
Mode 4:
Self-triggered | Filtered | Unprompted output to PC
The mode is selected using the
Device Configuration Utility
under the
Measurement Settings
tab (see Section 7.1,
Settings,
for details on viewing and
selecting settings).
TABLE 8-1 gives a summary of the CSAT3B operating
modes.
The following sections give more information on the measurement
trigger, data filters, and data output as a guide to selecting the appropriate
mode. Mode 1 is the default operating mode for the CSAT3B and is
recommended when fluxes are the primary interest.
