The first two digits are the ID Number of the transducer!

• Stop Continuous output: $

• Continuous Pressure: *00P2 - Continuously output pressure readings.

• Store Parameters in EEPROM: *00WE - Enable storage, this needs to be set before setting parameters to save, ie using *00I=R25 or *00M0=P2

• Integration Time: *00I=R25 - Set output rate to 25 readings/second
• Power-Up Mode: *00MO=P2 - Set startup to continuously output pressure readings.

• Store all settings in EEPROM: *00SP=ALL - Store current values.

Since the Honeywell transducers output data as pressure (in PSI) and not in voltages, a calibration constant is not needed.

The conversion factor is 1 PSI = 68.9475728 hPa

September 30, 2004: MPACE Field Project

Wing mounted pressure transducer is cutting out during flights. This was a problem on several of the Spring 2004 Sikorsky flights. The new Validyne pressure transducer was returned to the company but they could find no problems. The older pressure transducer was used after the Sikorsky project but during the September 30, 2004 CitationFieldprojectMPACE flight same problem.

May be a short in the wiring or something wrong with the A/D board.

The pitot wing pressure measurement was moved from analog channel 4 to analog channel 0 on October 11, 2004.

• Update December 15, 2004 Update: Since moving the pitot wing pressure measurement from analog channel 4 to analog channel 0 there has been no problems with the pitot wing measurements. All the L3Com flights had no problem with the pitot wing measurement.

During the CAPE2015 Project:Receiving data at 25 Hz; however, the post-processing is getting a lot of corruption of the string. The wind processing software needs to be updated to use the digital data streams.

For the next project during Fall 2015, we need to figure out if we can have sufficient 28 v power for new UTC pressure transducer.
