The OM-CP-WIND101A is a complete system to accurately record and measure wind speed. This low cost wind speed recording system comes complete with a data logger, weatherproof enclosure, a three-cup anemometer and all the necessary cabling to quickly get up-and-running.

The logger can record up to 500,000 readings and the storage medium is non-volatile, solid state memory, providing maximum data security even if the battery becomes discharged. The small size of these devices allows them to fit almost anywhere.

The device can be started and stopped directly from a computer using our user-friendly software. Data retrieval is simple. Simply plug it into an available USB port and our user-friendly software does the rest. The software converts a PC into a real-time strip chart recorder. Data can be printed in graphical and tabular format or exported to a text or Microsoft Excel® file. The storage medium is non-volatile solid state memory, providing maximum data security even if the battery becomes discharged.
