The Wind Velocity Accessory has anemometer cups to measure wind speed and a wind vane to measure the wind direction. The anemometer cups and the wind vane each mount on a Rotary Motion Sensor. Instructions are included for using the DataStudio or Xplorer GLX calculator to calibrate the wind speed. The wind vane must be aligned with North to specify alignment with zero degrees on the Rotary Motion Sensor and then wind direction is read as an angle between zero and 360 degrees.
When used with an Xplorer GLX, the system is portable and can be used in the field for measuring the wind of the day or it can be mounted on a bicycle or car to measure wind velocity relative to the vehicle. This is not intended as a weatherproof unit for permanent outdoor use.
