Windware Wind Data Logging Kit
Price £63.00
Don't waste you money buying a wind turbine only to discover that your average wind speed is not strong enough to power your turbine and thus prevent payback.
The Windware Kit along with a personal computer are all you need to monitor the average wind speeds for you location (PC must be turned on to record data).
The Windware Kit includes everything necessary to collect wind speed data: a quality Inspeed Vortex Wind Sensor, wire, and an interface cable to the PC.
25 feet of wire come standard. Tested fine with more than 500 feet of wire.
LIVE DISPLAY
The live display provides a real-time readout of the following information:
• Current wind speed
• Maximum wind speed since last reset, as well as the time stamp when the max was recorded.
• Average wind speed since the last Reset. The date and time of the last reset is also shown.
• Minimum wind speed since last reset, as well as the time stamp when the min was recorded.
The live display also includes the following controls:
• Reset Displays: to reset the Live Displays (not the data acquisition)
• Reset Alarm: to reset the alarm and digital output
• Data Log On/Off: to start and stop data logging
• Setup: to select units, logging, etc.
SETUP SCREEN
Setup provides the following capabilities:
• Units selection: mph, kph, knots, m/sec, and Beaufort
• COM Port: the port into which the Vortex wind sensor is connected
• Alarm Speed: the wind speed at which the Live Display numbers will change color and the digital output will switch.
• Filename: the name and location of the data file
• Interval: the number of minutes between stored data sets. It is also the interval over which the stored wind speed will be averaged.
(Note: this is not the same average as the Live Display, which averages over the entire time since the live displays were last reset).
DATA FILES
• The data stored includes the current speed, the max and min during the previous storage interval, and the average over the interval selected.
• It is stored in ASCII format such that it can be read by virtually any graphing software. An example is shown here where the storage interval was one minute.
Stopping and starting the program APPENDS the new data and does NOT overwrite existing data.
