In order to create our own program, we first took a simple accelerometer model program and manipulated it with anemometer commands. This anemomter program is structured so that it will record and collect data when the CBL is linked to the calculator. Thus, this program is not applicable to experiment under longterm conditions. In other words, we would have to create a program that would command the CBL to record and store data without being connected to the calculator. This would enable students to attach multiple probes to a CBL, which would be placed in the fuselage of the glider, so that data for experiments could be stored in the CBL and retrieved at the end of the flight.
Wind blown through the propeller causes the fan to rotate.
The anemometer may be attached to the glider to record the velocity of the glider through wind through the air. In other words, the CBL collects data for each iteration and then takes the average for each cycle. In this example, List 1 will show the average velocity for every second for 15 seconds. Disregard List 2 and List 3. This was the first time that the TI-82 programs were put to the test and were successful.
