ultrasonic anemometer young 3d


julio Mar 30, 2009 11:59 AM

We have a ultrasonic anemometer young 3d model 81000. We want connect the ultrasonic anemometer at Campbell Scientific datalogger CR1000, but I don’t have idea to programming the Campbell and the wiring of anemometer for this datalogger. Can you help me?

This is a program which was written to measure the voltage ouputs of the 81000. You need to configure the RMY for voltage outputs. Hope this helps, Claude .

Thank you Claude, i will try to connect it.


ClaudeCSC Apr 13, 2009 05:36 PM

Your welcome. Two more programs have come to me since if you wanted to do serial communications and save some analogue channels for other sensors?


julio Apr 17, 2009 10:42 AM

Well,I am starting working with the CR1000. If I need more programs i will try to communicate it in the forum.

I need to connect the ultrasonic anemometer young 3d by means of communication RS232.

On the other hand, the sensors that I use at present in the CR1000 are:
-Pyranometer kIPP*ZONEN model CMP 6
-Pyranometer Liquor Li-200SZ( for this sensor I have not done his program)
-Weather Transmiter WXT520 Vaisala ( the program it is a copy of wxt510 rev 4/07 ).

Well, thats all!

Regards


ClaudeCSC Apr 19, 2009 09:24 AM

Hello Julio,

If you send me an email (claude@campbellsci.ca), I can send you the program for serial output from anemometer. It will be easier than trying to post it here.

Thanks, Claude

Hello,

I am new with CR1000 and RM 81000. I have checked the above program given by Claude. However, I need more help on the followings..

1. I want to measure voltage output (V1:V4, VRef) in SDM mode (as faster than serial) in CR1000 from RM 81000. Also, I want to measure u, v and w wind components separately along with wind speed and other variables with 10 HZ sampling. Could you please send me on CR1000 program for SDM mode?

2. How to make settings for 81000 (as suggested in the program given above)?

I use RS232 cable to connect the logger with PC.

Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,

I say this post searching for the same thing. I also need to program a young 3d model 81000. I'd also like the serial output version, and like julio, I also have a Vaisala WXT520. 

Thanks for any help.

Hello. I am away from high speed so am pasting programs here: Remember you must configure sonic anemometer to output the serial as well as related settings to that. It is all in the RM Young manual, available on RM Young web site or campbellsci.ca .

There are two examples and these programs are many years old. Have sent it to other requests and no one has ever come back with further questions. I know nothing about WXT520 ( I am retired now), but it is similar. This sensor will have serial output or other protocol. You need to talk to sensor with computer and some communication software. Once you know that you can configure Serial Input instruction for CR1000.

Hi,

    Hope somebody can help, I don't have much experience in coding, I'm using the simpler program to read an RMY 81000, but I need that also store the values hourly. Hope someone can help me to do that.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks.
