====== WIND PROFILE CODE PROCEDURE ======
**After wave gauges calibration process:**
==== Turning on the equipment: ====
  - Turn on the electrical boxes, Ethernet Switch, Amplifier & NI cDAQ-9184\\
  - Turn on the DC power supply positioned on the instruments carriage and set to 5[V]\\
  - Open [[https://tsail.cv.technion.ac.il:5006//Software/Parker Linear Stage/Lexium MDrive Software/VI Files/changeVMchangeA.vi|changeVMchangeA.vi]] located in //D:\Experiment\VIs\Wave Gauges Programs\SubVIs// \\
  - Insert IP Address (//192.168.1.2// for larger linear stage) and remote port (//503//)\\
  - run program\\ **These values are saved until the electrical boxes are turned off**\\  * To check if the DAQ Device is connected correctly:\\ open NI MAX => Devices and interfaces => Network Devices => cDAQ9184-1B560CB\\ right click on this cDAQ and select the "//self-test//"\\ - If completed successfully=> click on cards NI 9212, NI 9401, NI 9205 to enable them.\\ - If not successful=> right click on the cDAQ and click on "//reserve chassis//".\\ **__Finding and saving the safe position above the highest wave for the airflow sensors:__**\\ \\
     - Turn on the wind blower at frequency 40 [Hz]. Open [[https://tsail.cv.technion.ac.il:5006//Software/Parker Linear Stage/Lexium MDrive Software/VI Files/ctrlSpeedBlower.vi|ctrlSpeedBlower.vi]] located in //D:\Experiment\VIs\Blower//, insert //40 [Hz]// and run the program\\
    - Move the airflow sensors close to the water surface\\
    - Open [[https://tsail.cv.technion.ac.il:5006//Software/Parker Linear Stage/Lexium MDrive Software/VI Files/WaterSensorScopeSimple.vi|WaterSensorScopeSimple.vi]] located in //D:\Experiment\VIs\Scope_Simple// \\ **This VI shows drop in voltage (~1.5-4[V]) when the sensor touches water**\\
    - Move the linear stage so that the exposed tips of the water sensor are in the water.\\ The drop of voltage will be evident on the graph/ \\ **Make sure the Pitot tube and static pressure probe are not touching the water**\\
    - Move the sensors up with a step of 3-4 [mm] and run the program for 30[sec]\\   - If there is a drop of voltage, repeat step e)\\   -	If there is no drop of voltage, double check if you are in a safe position:\\  * run the program for 60 [sec] and if there is a drop of voltage, repeat step e)\\  * If there is no drop of voltage run the program for 120 [sec]\\    * If there is no drop of voltage proceed to next step, otherwise, repeat step e)\\
  - Save this point as 0 by opening [[https://tsail.cv.technion.ac.il:5006//Software/Parker Linear Stage/Lexium MDrive Software/VI Files/LinearStageMaster.vi|LinearStageMaster.vi]] located in \\//D:\Experiment\VIs\Linear Stage// and insert IP Address (//192.168.1.2//) and port (//503//).\\ Write “//p 0//” in the command window and run program\\ **__Sanity check__** \\ - Write “pr p” in command window, run program.\\ - Check if the position equals 0 in data out\\
  - Open [[https://tsail.cv.technion.ac.il:5006//Software/Parker Linear Stage/Lexium MDrive Software/VI Files/WindProfile.vi|WindProfile.vi]] located in //D:\Experiment\VIs\Wind Profile Program// \\ Insert the following inputs:
    - Wind blower frequency:(e.g. 40, 32, 25, 18 [Hz])\\
    - Seeking for zero water level:\\  * Sampling rate (e.g. 120 [Hz])\\  * Measurement time (e.g. 60 [s])\\  * Zero seek step (e.g. 3 [mm])\\
    - Airflow sensors settings:\\  * Sampling rate (e.g. 1600 [Hz])\\  * Measurement time (e.g. 60 [s])\\
    - Linear stage settings:\\  * remote port //503//.\\  * IP Address //192.168.1.2// \\
    - Z coordinates (relative to 0[mm])\\
    - Fetch (location of airflow sensors relative to drain holes [cm])\\
    - Choose the calibration file\\ (located in //D:\Experiment\Flume measurements\CalibrationFiles//)\\
    - Insert the Path to Data files
  - Run the program.
