+===== Setting up the Veinasa Visibility Sensor =====
+Manual: [[|Veinasa Visibility Sensor Manual]]
+=== Parts ===
+The Vaisala temperature and humidity probe has a few key components when it comes to setting up the instrument.
+  *Main Body

+    * Green - T/R-
+    * Yellow - T/R+
+    * Red - Power (positive)
+    * Black - Grounding power (negative)
+=== Setting up the Sensor ===
+By now, you should have your Raspberry Pi computer completely set up, with a DAQ HAT. To continue, you will need:
+  * some sort of DC Power Jack connector

+  * USB to RS422/485 converter
+  * Extra wire
+  - Connect the DC Power Jack to power
+    - Connect the red wire to the positive connection
+    - connect the black wire to the negative connection
+  - Wire the probe into the Converter
+      - Connect the yellow wire to T/R+
+      - Connect the green wire to T/R-
+      - Connect the extra wire to GND and the negative connection on the DC power jack, as shown above.
+  - If you have properly set up the ADPAA, you can now run the python program that coincides with your instrument and observe the data.
