Appendix B. Wind Direction

Measurement Theory

It is not necessary to understand the concepts in this section for the general

operation of the 034B Windset with Campbell Scientific’s datalogger.

The 034B Windsets purchased from Campbell Scientific have a 9.53 kΩ fixed

resistor and a variable resistor on the excitation line. The variable resistor is

adjusted by the manufacturer so its resistance plus the 9.53 k resistor equals the

resistance of the potentiometer (R

= R

+ R

R = 9.53K OHM

The vanes are calibrated due south and then the potentiometer is adjusted until

each half of the potentiometer has equal resistance.
