The WindWorks Kit includes everything necessary to collect wind speed data: a quality Inspeed Vortex Wind Sensor, an Inspeed electronic E-Vane wind direction sensor, wire, and interface cable. To the right is a photo of the WindWorks Processing Unit with USB Cable. The blue terminal block is where to attach the sensors. Click Add To Cart to see options, packages, including sensors, wire length, and selection of PC or MAC software.

DATA FILES Stopping and starting the program APPENDS the new data and does NOT overwrite existing data. |
|
| SPEED RANGE | Approx. 3 to approx. 150 mph. (~5 to ~ 240 kph) |
| ACCURACY | better than +4% of reading (ex: 20 mph +0.8 mph) |
| SAMPLING RATE | peak wind gusts are monitored at a constant rate of 1 Hz (once per second) |
| 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®...). |

NOTE TO CURRENT USERS:
WindWorks is for use with Inspeed Vortex Wind Sensors with D2 rotors (see the photo below). Select 2.5 as the Rotor Value in the Setup screen (this corresponds to 2.5 mph per rotation per second).
WindWorks is also compatible with older "M1" rotors. If the rotor on your Vortex wind sensor looks like the following photo you are using an "M1 Rotor". Select 3.4 as the Rotor Value in the Setup screen (this corresponds to 3.4 mph per rotation per second).
