      3. 1=u, 3=w
    4. Need cover for relative temperature and humidity sensor.

Reports
  • TIMMS - found pressure transducer at https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/l-com/PS781-03G0L1/22657305
  • iMet-XQ2 - DNW
  • Rain Gauges - DNW
  • Tipping Bucket Programming - DNW
  • Aerosol Particle Sizer - DNW
  • Append - found a very simple way of printing data (and appending data) to a text file, using '»'. In command line, use “python3 TIMMS00400_WX.py » test.txt” to append output from TIMMS00400_WX to a file named 'test.txt'. Use '>' for overwriting. Rewrote append code with same formatting code as writefile.py, changing the writing method to appending. After writing append code, continued to work on getting writefile to work to figure out how to test appendfile. Made progress, but ran into issues with self.create_format_arr not being an attribute of str. Beginning to think the problem is the output of TIMMS00400. Did some research, I believe that the output of TIMMS is not applicable for this method, as it outputs strings and not a list, dictionary, or file. As I am unable to access other instruments right now, I will be looking into the anemometer manual to make a list of everything I need to update the configuration.

  • Append - Continued to work on getting the writefile module to work, succeeded once but upon repeating the same method it did not work. Researched appending methods. Created a script on an IDE that appends in a simple manner and will use it to work as a base. Will need to look into formatting appended output, as the writefile.py does. Next task is to get it to work through the ADPAA, so I will again explore writefile execution first.

Reports
  • Experienced AnyDesk issues. Troubleshooted through Windows Command Line, but resorted to uninstalling and then reinstalling, which fixed the issue. Was able to reconnect to TIMMS-SN00400, but no other devices due to being shut down for break. When back at campus, will manually reconnect to all of them; I have record of those I was connected to.

  • Resolved file issues on personal computer causing software to be slowed down.

Change from [SPEED, AZIMUTH, ELEVATION, TEMP] to [U V W TEMP] for code to work. If this will not work, then consult Dr. Delene. Additionally, looked for a pressure sensor with little success. Researched analog output to further understand the A/D connection.
