2 Introduction

The anemometer PCE-ADL 11 is a data logger for wind speed. The configuration of the

anemometer is done via the supplied software. The wind speed meter measures various

parameters. These include m/s, km/h, knots, mph and ft/min. In addition to the measurement

parameters, the measurement intervals can be set in the software. The memory has enough

capacity for 60,000 measured values. After completion of the measurement series, the data can

be read out on the computer via the software. The measurement results are displayed either

graphically as a curve or in tabular form.
