When connected to a WindObserver II sensor, additional displays of sonic temperature and speed of sound are available.
The five tactile buttons with displayed prompts make operation and configuration of the system simple. Adjustable settings include sensor alignment, alarm, wind speed units, pressure calibration, sensor input, display contrast and backlight. An adjustment lock is provided to avoid inadvertent adjustment of the alarm and sensor settings.
An RS232 output is provided for connecting to a SpaceLogger-RS WindLogger or other data logger, computer or radio modem. When using the RS422/RS485 input, thedisplay can often eliminate the need for a separate RS422/RS485 to RS232 converter. There is also an optically isolated input for when extra isolation of the sensor is required. In a system several WS-15A display units may be connected to one sensor or daisy chained using the RS232 output.
The WS-15A can be used as part of a remote sensor system using Digi Xstream-PKG Radio modem to transmit and receive data. When using these radios it is possibleto call up a signal strength bar to help with optimal positioning of the antenna.
