WIND SPEED PC DATA LOGGER > > > 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:

WIND SPEED DATA COLLECTION > > > SETUP SCREEN
PREFERENCES SCREEN
"Preferences" provides the following capabilities:
-
Units selection: mph, kph, knots, m/sec
-
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 - in minutes.
(Note: this is not the same average as the Live Display, which averages over the entire time since the live displays were last reset).
- Auto Log Start: enables the software data logging feature whenever the computer is turned on - automatically.
- Coming soon: internet posting...

WIND SPEED / DIRECTION DATA FILES
The data stored includes the current speed, the max and min during the previous storage interval, the wind direction, and the average wind speed 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.

| OPERATING SYSTEM |
The wind speed data logging software is compatible with PC’s running Windows® XP, 98, or 2000.
Also compatible with MAC OSX. |
| DATA STORAGE INTERVAL |
minimum 1 minute
user-selectable at one minute intervals |
| DATA FILE |
Data files are created in ASCII format with time and date stamp
Data stored includes current, and max/min/averae for the selected interval
The amount of data stored depends on available disk space
Stopping and restarting the data collection APPENDS data in the same file, does NOT overwrite |
| OTHER APPLICATIONS |
WindWorks does not use computer CPU power for data collection; this is done in the WindWorks processor (in the black box). Therefore, other programs can be running on the computer whilst WindWorks is running without threatening data integrity. |
| USB |
The WindWorks interface board connects to the computer via USB. Only one USB port is needed. |
| GRAPHING |
Sorry – no graphs included at this time – just data - but making them is a piece of cake.
(it takes only seconds to create a graph using software like Microsoft Excel®...). |
| WIND SENSOR |
WindWorks is only compatible with the Inspeed Vortex wind sensor, which provides one digital pulse per rotation.
Standard lengths of wire available when you click on Add to Cart.
Current Vortex Users: Any Inspeed Vortex Anemometer Wind Sensor can be used with the data logging software. Simply disconnect the cyclometer display and connect the wind sensor to the box.
|
| WIND VANE |
WindWorks is only compatible with the Inspeed E-Vane, which provides 0-5VDC per rotation. Standard lengths of wire available when you click on Add to Cart. |
