Design of strain gauge anemometer for work in antarctic conditions

Abstract

This paper describes the design of anemometric device based on strain gauge sensors. The device relies on an ultra-low power micro architecture and adaptive power distribution mechanism. It is dynamically reconfigurable for working in real time transfer slave mode; and ultra-low power, fully autonomous, self-monitoring, long-term measurement mode. For convenience the collected data of the environmental parameters could be initially analyzed and visualized by specialized master system and end-user software tools.
