CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer 1. General The CSAT3 is an ultrasonic anemometer for measuring wind speed in three dimensions. It uses three pairs of non-orthogonally oriented transducers to sense the horizontal wind. Each pair of transducers transmits and receives the ultrasonic signal. The time of flight is directly related to the wind speed along the sonic transducer axis. The speed of sound is directly related of the air density, e.g. temperature and humidity.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer CSAT3 can be configured to make a single measurement per trigger or multiple measurements that are centered around the trigger (oversampled).
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer REPORTING RANGE: SDM and RS-232 digital Outputs: Full scale wind: ±65.535 m s–1 autoranging between four ranges; least significant bit is 0.25 to 2 mm s–1 Speed of sound: 300 to 366 m s–1 (–50 to +60 °C); least significant bit is 1 mm s–1 (0.025 °C embedded code version 4; 0.002 °C embedded code version 3) ANALOG OUTPUTS: Output Range ux, uy ±32.768 m s–1 ±65.536 m s–1 uz ±8.192 m s–1 c 300 to 366 m s–1 (–50 to +60 °C) 2.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer 2.4 Power Requirements VOLTAGE SUPPLY: 10 to 16 Vdc POWER: 2.4 W @ 60 Hz measurement frequency 1.2 W @ 20 Hz measurement frequency 3. Initial Setup 3.1 Factory Settings • • • • • • • Analog Outputs – Off Execution Parameter – 10 Hz (see Section 10.3 and B.1) Trigger Source – Internal Clock (see Section 8, 9, and B.1) SDM Address – 3 (see Section 3.2, 6.1, and 10.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer 3.2 SDM Address Each CSAT3 on the SDM bus must have a unique address. A hex thumb switch within the electronics box is used to change the SDM address. Remove the lid and orient the electronics box with the connectors pointing down. The hex thumb switch is now located in the lower right hand side of the electronics box (see TABLE 3-1 for SDM addresses). CAUTION SDM address F (hex) is a special address used during a Group Trigger.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer 4.2 Mounting The current mounting configuration for the CSAT3 includes a CM250 Leveling Mount, which should be mounted on the end of a 1.31-inch diameter crossarm such as the CM20X. Mount it so that the bolt on the end points upward, and secure it in place by tightening the set screws with the 3/16-inch Allen wrench that came with the CM250. The CSAT3 is then mounted to the CM250 by screwing the bolt into the anemometer block. See FIGURE 4-1.

CSAT3 coordinate system and original noncaptive mounting hardware (s/n 0107 to 0630) 4.3 Leveling Over flat level terrain, adjust the anemometer head so that the bubble within the level is in the bullseye. Over sloping terrain, adjust the anemometer head so that the horizontal surface that the bubble level is mounted on is parallel to the terrain.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer CAUTION The CSAT3 electronics box contains unique calibration information for its respective sensor head. Do not mismatch CSAT3 sensor heads and electronics. Doing so will result in erroneous wind and speed of sound measurements. NOTE Before extending the SDM signal cable, read Appendix D. NOTE Short haul modems, wire or fiber optic, may be used to lengthen the RS-232 communications cable. Short haul modems do not include an RTS signal.

CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer 6.2 RS-232 Output The Windows PC support software (CSAT32.EXE) can be used to graph the CSAT3 data in real time or collect time series via the RS-232 serial port. A copy of the CSAT3 PC software is available from the Campbell Scientific web site in the Support|Downloads section. This software is intended as a diagnostic tool, rather than part of a long term data acquisition system. Appendix B contains detailed information on the CSAT3 RS-232 commands.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer Unlike CSAT3s running embedded code version 3, embedded code version 4 does not use a library of calibration templates and pattern recognition to determine the ultrasonic time of flight. Embedded code versions 4 and 3 have the same wind resolution. The resolution of the speed of sound measurement using embedded code version 4 is 15 times worse than embedded code version 3 (0.002°C to 0.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer After power-up or loss of signal, the CSAT3 enters a mode where it tests the forward and return paths for each of the pairs of ultrasonic transducers. This is called the “acquire” mode and takes about 10 seconds before normal output is available from the anemometer. This delay is caused in part because the anemometer has no recent knowledge of the responses of the transducer pairs and in particular no past history of the wind speed and speed of sound.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer 8. CSAT3 Trigger The CSAT3 takes a measurement of wind speed and the speed of sound when triggered from one of three different sources. The trigger sources are the internal CSAT3 timer, SDM communications, or RS-232 communications. In the case of the CSAT3 internal timer, the Execution Parameter exactly defines the trigger rate. The Execution Parameter is set either via a SDM or RS-232 command.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer FIGURE 8-1. Typical average CSAT3 current drain at +12 VDC FIGURE 8-2. CSAT3 pipeline delay 8.1 Sampling Modes The CSAT3 can be configured to make measurements in either a singlemeasurement mode or an oversampled mode. In the single-measurement mode, the CSAT3 makes one measurement synchronously with the trigger provided by the CSAT3 internal trigger, SDM communications, or RS-232 communications.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer 8.1.1 Single-Measurement Mode In the single-measurement mode, the anemometer makes one measurement per trigger. With this approach, the anemometer’s high frequency response is limited only by the geometry of the anemometer head, thus minimizing the possibility of under-estimating high-frequency signal variations and covariations. However, this approach also aliases high-frequency information to lower frequencies.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer 10. Datalogger Programming using SDM The CRBasic CSAT3 () and EDLOG SDM-CSAT3 (P107) instructions are Input/Output instructions that control and retrieve data from the CSAT3. These instructions are available on the CR3000, CR1000, CR5000, CR800/850, CR9000(X), and CR23X, 21X (with CSAT3 PROMs), CR10X, and CR10 (with CSAT3 PROMs or library special PROMs). 10.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer SDMAddress/SDM Address: The unique SDM Address of the CSAT3 connected to the datalogger. In CRBasic dataloggers, the CSAT3 address is entered as a base ten number. In EDLOG dataloggers, the CSAT3 address is entered as a base four number (see TABLE 3-1). The SDM Address is sequentially incremented if the Reps option is greater than 1. The wind data and the speed of sound (sonic virtual temperature) is scaled by the instruction into m s–1 and degrees Celsius.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer CAUTION Command/Option 90, 91, 98, or 99 must not be used to collect data from a CSAT3 running a cold shifted calibration, see Section 11.2.1. Option 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60: “Set Execution Parameter” tells the CSAT3 which measurement parameters to use and what frequency to expect the measurement trigger from the datalogger. The datalogger Execution Interval and the appropriate CSAT3 Execution Parameter is summarized in TABLE 10-3 and TABLE 10-4.

CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer CAUTION Lightly dab the face of the transducers to remove water droplets. Applying excessive force on the face of the transducer may separate the matching layer from the brass housing. There are no user serviceable components on the CSAT3. The only time the electronics box must be opened is to change the SDM address. 11.1 Wicks CSAT3 embedded code version 4 and the wicks work together to improve the performance of the CSAT3 in rainy conditions.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer FIGURE 11-2. P/N 28902 CSAT3 Sonic Wick Spares Kit contents 11.2 Calibration The CSAT3 is calibrated over the temperature range of –30 to +50 °C (standard) or –40 to +40 °C (cold shifted). The CSAT3 may or may not make measurements outside the calibration range. Any measurements taken outside the calibration range will be suspect. The CSAT3 does not require any field calibration.
CSAT3 Three Dimensional Sonic Anemometer The standard datalogger instruction reports either the speed of sound (c), option 90 or 99, or the sonic temperature (Ts), Command/Option 91 or 98, cannot be used with a CSAT3 running a cold shifted calibration. Instead, use option 92 “Trigger and Get Wind & c-340 Data” or option 97 “Get Wind and c-340 Data After a Group Trigger” and then add 337 m s–1. To find Ts, use Equation 9 in Appendix C. 11.2.

Check the setting of RI in the Long Status Message. “ri n” – Toggle Rts Independent; where n = 0 means power the RS-232 drivers if RTS is asserted and n = 1 means always power the RS-232 drivers. Always powering the RS-232 drivers allows the use of short haul modems between the CSAT3 and PC.
Appendix A. CSAT3 Orientation A.1 Determining True North and Sensor Orientation The orientation of the CSAT3 negative x-axis is found by reading a magnetic compass and applying the site-specific correction for magnetic declination; where the magnetic declination is the number of degrees between True North and Magnetic North. Magnetic declination for a specific site can be obtained from a USGS map, local airport, or through a NOAA web calculator (Section A.2).
Appendix A. CSAT3 Orientation Declination angles are always subtracted from the compass reading to find True North. A declination angle East of True North is reported as positive a value and is subtracted from 360 (0) degrees to find True North as shown FIGURE A-2. A declination angle West of True North is reported as a negative value and is also subtracted from 0 (360) degrees to find True North as shown in FIGURE A-3.

Appendix B. Serial Communications with the CSAT3 B.1 CSAT3 RS-232 Commands The CSAT3 powers up its RS-232 drivers when it detects that the RTS (request to send) line has been asserted by the PC. All RS-232 communications begin with the PC asserting the RTS line, the CSAT3 responds by asserting the CTS (clear to send) line. The PC must keep the RTS line asserted as long as it is communicating with the CSAT3. RS-422 communications and short-haul modems do not include an RTS signal.

SDM Communications and Long Signal Cables D.1 Brief Description of SDM Clock Rates The fastest rate that a datalogger and SDM sensors can communicate via the SDM bus is determined by the number of SDM sensors connected to the SDM bus, properties of the cable used to connect the sensors (resistance and capacitance), and the scan interval. This rate, called the SDM clock rate, has been optimized for the standard 7.62 m (25 ft.) SDM signal and power cable supplied with the CSAT3.
Appendix D. SDM Communications and Long Signal Cables D.2 CR3000 Example Connect all the SDM devices to the datalogger with the cable in question. Download the example CRBasic SDM search program to the datalogger. This program will test the SDM communications between a CRBasic datalogger and a CSAT3, LI-7500, or both a CSAT3 and LI-7500. After the program compiles, use the CRBasic keyboard and set the menu items “Test CSAT3?” and “Test LI-7500?” to the appropriate values.
Appendix D. SDM Communications and Long Signal Cables Take the following case, a 575 foot SDM signal and power cable is used to connect a CR23X datalogger and a single CSAT3 anemometer. Communication between the CR23X and CSAT3 fails at the default SDM clock rate. Thus, a slower SDM clock rate must be used. The example CR3X SDM clock rate search program generated the data in TABLE D-2. TABLE D-2. Data from Example CR23X SDM Clock Rate Search Program 150,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16, ...
