Page 40: Principle Of Operation
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 11.3 . Principle of operation The WindObserver II (Pipe Mount) measures the times taken for an ultrasonic pulse of sound to travel from the North transducer to the South transducer, and compares it with the time for a pulse to travel from S to N transducer. Likewise times are compared between West and East, and E and W transducer. -
