Automatic traverse through a Range of Flow Angles.

During the test procedure the model will be rotated through a range of angles of attack for the forces to be measured or set to a specific angle of attack for a presure transducer run. The loads on the model will be recorded at each angle for the tranverse run. The pressure distribution around the model will be recorded at a specific angle for the transducer run.

To define an angle range, you will need to enter values for the initial and final traverse angles or enter a specific angle of attack. To avoid backlash effects, the traverse mechanism only rotates the model in the positive direction during testing. The rotation mechanism is limited to a range of -30 deg to +30 deg angle of attack.
