Amanenemeno..anemona... "ANEMOMETER"

The "anemometer" (n-mm-tr) is a useful scientific tool. Aside from having a tongue-twisting name (see also "anemone"), the anemoneter has the property of measuing wind speed/air velocity.



This particular model of anemometer also measures humidity, temperature and light. So, if you want to use the anemometer function, you'll first need to know how to select it. And even if you can select the anemometer, the knowledge is pointless unless you know how to actually use the tool. What follows is a detailed step-by-step guide on how to use this nifty device.

1. Power is everything. In other words, for the machine to work, you need to turn it on. To do this, push the blue "power" button in the top left.

2. Because this model has so many functions, you'll need to know how to cycle through them. All you have to do is push the "function" button in the machine's bottom right. You may need to do this multiple times. You'll know the anemometer is selected when the screen displays the number 0.0 with a unit of speed immediately below it (mph, km-h, etc).

3. You can cycle through the different units of speed measurement by pushing the "unit/zero" button in the bottom left. The options for this particular machine include mph, km-h, and FPS.

4. Next, you measure. This may be the easiest step of all. All you have to do is hold the fan to the source of air flow. If wind is blowing from the south, hold the anemometer out facing south. Simple as that.

5. RECORD DATA!!! You can record the minimum or maximum air velocity by pushing the "min/max" button in the top right. You want to make sure and record your data somwhere that you won't lose or forget it.

And you're done! Analyze and conclude. Have fun measuring wind with the anememo...namenoma...well, you get the idea...
