Wind Vector Monitoring | Port C + Adcon Wind sensor: Direction is sampled at the same time as speed, weighed according to speed and stored as vector |
Rain Intensity | Port D + Rain Gauge with pulse output (max. resolution: 1 Hz) Date and time of each pulse are stored; up to three additional analog signals can be stored at the same time, e.g. wind speed and temperature |
Pressure Hammer Monitoring |
Port C + Adcon Manometer sensor: the sensor is supplied permanently, samples 4 x per second and calculates 3-second averages |
Low Voltage Amplifier | Port B: accepts sensors with output signals from 0 ... 150mV |
Sequential sampling | To avoid interference between sensors the four ports A to D can also be sampled sequentially |
