Integration with PID controller for flow regulation
Description
The SY342 is a digital windmill-type anemometer designed for precise measurement of air flow velocity. The electrical output is proportional to wind speed, enabling direct integration with the SY300 frame's data acquisition interface and PID controller for closed-loop air flow control experiments.
