The invention relates to a calibration 
system of a 
wind direction sensor, comprising a base. The calibration 
system is characterized in that the base is provided with a 
rotating disc, a 
photoelectric sensor, a 
control circuit and a driving motor; the edge of the 
rotating disc is provided with a plurality of through holes at equal intervals; the central position of the 
rotating disc is provided with a fixed hole; the transmitting end and receiving end of the 
photoelectric sensor are respectively arranged at the two sides of the rotating disc; and the 
control circuit is electrically connected with the 
photoelectric sensor, the driving motor and the 
wind direction sensor respectively; and the number of the through holes is 36. The calibration method of the calibration 
system provided by the invention comprises the following steps: a. firstly, judging whether signals are input or not; b. judging whether pulse signals are input or not; and c. reading a 
wind direction value and sending the wind direction value to an upper 
personal computer (PC). According to the invention, as the driving motor and the photoelectric sensor are arranged, automatic calibration of the wind direction sensor is realized, and the speed and accuracy of calibration are increased; and for the calibration method provided by the invention, 
data acquisition is completed automatically, so that the original fussy mode of manual reading is changed.
