The Transmission Protocols
As pre the previous post, the transmissions are serial ASCII including control characters over RS424/485. The display is essentaially a data sync with some commands able to be received. Th Siricco wind gauge is total a dat asource source. The Mistral wind gauge is an “intelligent” data source able to be configured.
1. Gemini 6 Digit 7 Segment Display

- The first 3 character command clears the display.
- The second 15 character command displays the event running time:
- Min Min : Sec Sec . Hundth Hundth
- The third 15 character command displays the wallclock time.
- nnn is 3 characters for event number or placing but is ignored by 6 digit display.
- The other 3 characters are spaces.
2. Sirrico Wind Gauge
Have implemented Gill WinSonic protocol for Siricco with simulator.
6.2. Gill format – UV <– Sirrico Uses this mode In this mode, the output is given as signed (i.e., positive, or negative) speeds along the ‘U’ (= South – North) axis and the ‘V’ (= East – West) axis.
