Campbell Sci – Windsonic

The WindSonic is two-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer for measuring wind speed and wind direction. It provide an alternative to traditional mechanical cup and vane or propeller and vane anemometers.

The WindSonic1 and WindSonic4 differ in their output signal. The WindSonic1 outputs an RS-232 signal that our newer dataloggers can measure. The WindSonic4 outputs an SDI-12 signal that can be read by all contemporary dataloggers except the CR9000X.
