Overview

Transform from an angle into a direction.

 

Description

Given an anemometer that measures wind speed with direction by returning the angle of the direction with a reference point at North, this code shows how we can transform this angle into a coordenate direction.

In this code, we asume O degrees as North, and each direction has a range of 22.5 degrees. Any change in halfway between two directions, the string switches.


Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Open the "Transform an Angle to a Direction LV2012 - NI Verified.vi"
2. Select the angle that can be displayed by the anemometer.
3. Select the Run button.
