Current Pressure Measuring System in the Transonic Wind Tunnel.

Abstract

A simple system for wind tunnel pressure measurements is described. It is intended for use with Scanivalves and a minicomputer and stagger scans at a preset, variable rate. The scan may be started and stopped under program control, and all Scanivalves are automatically homed at the end of the computer initiated scan. Scanivalve number, port number, and four digits representing the measured pressure are displayed and provided for the minicomputer. (Author)
