The WindSonic is a low cost ultrasonic alternative to conventional cup and vane or propeller wind sensors. The WindSonic combines both wind speed and direction data into one serial (or two analogue outputs), which are transmitted together with an instrument status code, confirming correct operation. The WindSonic provides accurate results in all weather conditions where traditional mechanical sensors fail.
