Development of a virtual instrument for automatic calibration of anemometers

摘要

A virtual instrument to perform fast and accurate anemometer calibrations has been developed. Different sensors are connected to a computer where a virtual environment acquires and processes the incoming signals and controls a wind tunnel, allowing the anemometer calibration at the pre-selected values of the air speed. A neural network based system supervises the measuring process and automatically rejects possible undesired deviations.
