### Function principle

The measuring tube consists of an orifice, which increases airflow in the tube. The different speeds generate differential pressure, which is measured by an electronic differential pressure sensor. The same principle was used at the beginning of [aircraft airspeed measurement](https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19930091190). It is advantageous due to better sensitivity at low speeds compared to [pitot-static](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_tube) tube.

The anemometer consists of the IMU sensor ICM-20948 which contains a magnetometer, gyroscopes, and accelerometers. The IMU allows sophisticated data acquisition for failure detection and gust wind analysis.

##### Calibration

The anemometer should be calibrated before the first use. That ensures, the calibration of magnetometer parameters. To correctly determine the wind direction by internal magnetometer.
