10.6. Bench Test
Data Tests
1. Couple the WindObserver 65 to the host system and power supply, using a known
working test cable.
2. Check that the unit is correctly configured by going into Configuration mode and
using D3 See Section 8.4 Checking the Configuration.
3. Check for normal output data, and that the Status Code is OK – 00, 60 or A (for
NMEA format).
4. If the status code is other than these, refer to Section 10.5 Status (error) codes.
5. Use an office fan or similar to check that the unit is sensing wind, turning the unit
to simulate changing wind direction and to check that both axes are functioning.
6. Note that this is a quick functional test. There are no calibration adjustments; the
unit is designed NOT to require re-calibration within its lifetime. Gill has provided
and Integrity Check, see next page for details.
