wind, visibility, present weather   user interface software for - HSS visibility sensors and - Metek ultrasonic anemometers

We are developing graphical user interface software for both the Metek ultrasonic anemometers and the digital HSS visibility sensors and have beta versions available.

These software programs allow communication between a PC (running Windows XP) and the sensors via an RS232 connection.  They offer date/time stamp logging and archiving functions as well as graphical displays of the data with easy to use interfaces for the most important commands.

For more information please select either:

• BiralView software for Metek ultrasonic anemometers
  (all models - USA-1, USA-2, Wind Horizon, Wind Professional and Wind Research)

• HSSView for HSS VPF-700 digital sensors
  (VPF-710 and VPF-730)
