Tell Us!

Did you spot a bug, a spelling error, or something that just didn’t make sense to you? We’d love

to hear about it. Please send feedback to info@anemoment.com, with a detailed explanation of

your concern. Screenshots and photos can be extremely helpful!

Limitation Alerts

Anemoment wants you to get the best possible use from your TSM Sensor investment, and we

understand that each User has a unique idea they want to create. You know best what you are

trying to accomplish. We know the TSM Sensors can help you access essential and actionable

wind and weather data in new places and new ways, but we cannot promise that they can do

everything or go everywhere the human mind can think up. We want to alert you to these

points up front, to empower your decisions as you plan your project.

Compact Fluorescent Lamps

Many compact florescent lamps operate at ultrasonic frequencies that interfere with

the operation of a TSM Sensor. If the TSM Sensor is operated near compact florescent

lamps, erroneous and erratic readings may result. Turning off the compact florescent

lamps or moving the TSM Sensor away from the CFL should result in proper instrument

operation.

Electro-Mechanical Motors and Magnetic Sensors

Electro-mechanical motors generate magnetic fields; the effect of the field on a

magnetic sensor varies by distance of the sensor to the motor, and by the speed (and

variations of speed) at which the motor is operated. The magnetic sensor aboard your

TSM Sensor will be affected by the field generated by motors nearby. We recommend

7 Release Date 9 July 2021 Anemoment LLC

that you consider the effects of magnetic fields arising from your unique use

configuration in both your hardware and software design.

Ice and Snow

The small size and light weight that are the hallmark of the TSM-FB and TSM-PM leave

no space for on-board heaters. These TSM Sensors are designed to function in outdoor

conditions; however, if ice or snow accumulate within the Sensor the acoustic pathways

between transducers can be blocked. While the dark coloring of the TSM-Sensors

facilitates natural solar removal of ice and snow, the TSM Sensors may not be the best

choice of sensor for sustained use in wintery weather.

Just the Facts, Ma’am

TSM Sensors combine powerful detection elements with a high-speed processor to

produce near-realtime data facts about atmospheric conditions at the site of the sensor.

The TSM Sensor transmits these collected data facts over wires in the form of a User-

configurable ASCII data stream. It is up to the User, however, to interpret this data in

the User’s unique situational context, which may require combination with additional

User-provided data or other post-processing. Anemoment is not responsible for such

additional data or processing.

Sorry, No Apples Today

The data stream from the TSM Sensor can be received, stored, and interpreted by the

User’s choice of device so long as it is connected to the Sensor by the proper

communications protocol. We recommend the use of a Terminal Emulator, such as Tera

Term, to review the data stream and to communicate with or configure the sensor.

Available for download at the Anemoment website is a rudimentary User interface app

for use on Windows™ operating systems; this app is not suitable for data logging

functions. The App’s OS choice is simply a result of skill-set limitations; we do not

presently have a timeline for developing an interface app for other operating systems.

Wind Tunnels & Ultrasonic Frequency

Ultrasonic anemometers operate by generating ultrasonic pulses and measuring the

time of flight of those sound pulses between transducers. The time-of-flight

measurements can be disturbed by external noise sources in or near the same

frequency band used by the ultrasonic anemometer’s transducers. (The TSM Sensors

operate in the 60KHz ultrasonic frequency range) We have found that some wind

tunnels generate ultrasonic noise that can cause erroneous readings from the

anemometer. This is not an indication of failure of the anemometer, but an artifact of

using the anemometer in what is to it an ultrasonically noisy environment.
