In addition, if sufficient demand exists, important PC's brought aboard by the scientific party can be added to the network. The PC network utilizes shared resources such as postscript printers, virtual disk drives, tape drives, and CD-RW drives. SCS is a data acquisition and processing system designed for oceanographic and fisheries applications. The SCS workstations can provide time series graphs of all acquired data to monitor any changes. Several variables can be plotted against each other in real time X-Y plots.
Data can be output in a wide variety of formats.
Speed Log Winch system Measurement Technology winch instrumentation displays for both the traction and hydrographic winch systems. These displays will display wire out in meters, feed rate in meters per minute and wire tension in pounds. These readings are also output to SCS for archival and are available for scientific use. 153.6 KHz narrow band acoustic doppler current profiler provides vertical profiles of ocean current, speed and directon at depths up to 380 m. The RDI software, version 2.48 running on an associated 386 computer displays the real time data.
