 +=== Setting up the Probe === 
 + 
 +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,  
 +{{:atmos:citation:instruments:setup_vaisala_temperature_and_humidity_probe:screenshot_2025-11-24_203842.png?100|}} 
 +  * a small screwdriver for undoing and tightening the screws on the DAQ HAT channels,

 + 
 +Optionally: 
 +  * a multimeter/power sensor,  
 +{{:atmos:citation:instruments:setup_vaisala_temperature_and_humidity_probe:screenshot_2025-11-24_204655.png?100|}} 
 +  * a fan 
 + 
 +  - Wire the Anemometer's Electrical Box 
 +    - Red to +PWR 
 +    - Blue to EARTH GND 
 +    - Grey to V1 
 +    - Yellow to V2 
 +    - Green to V3 
 +    - White to V4 
 +    - Brown to VREF 
 +  - Connect the DC Power Jack to power 
 +    - Connect the red wire to the positive connection 
 +    - connect the blue wire to the negative connection 
 +  - Optional: If you would like to test the probe prior to connecting it, follow this step. You will need the optional materials. If you do not want to test the probe, skip to step 3. 
 +    - For each wire labeled V1, V2, etc., place the red probe onto the labeled pin V1,2, etc., and the black probe to VREF (Brown wire) 
 +    - You should see some voltage coming through on the voltmeter. 
 +  - Wire the probe into the DAQ HAT 
 +    - Grey to CH0 
 +    - Yellow to CH1 
 +    - Green to CH2 
 +    - White to CH3 
 +    - Brown to GND 
 +  - If you have properly set up the ADPAA and DAQ HAT, you can now run the python program that coincides with your instrument and observe the data.
