A modular family of miniature instruments for simple acquisition and in field processing of oceanographic data
Original version
This report is not to be quoted without prior consultation with the General Secretary.Abstract
The paper describes a general-system for design of
oceanographic instruments.. The system uses a standard
mechanical housing and a v~riety of compatible
electronic units which can be plugged into the hausing
in a few seconds. Data are recorded on solid
state memories and transfered to different readout
devices via optocoupling through the sealed instrument
to p. By re ad ing da ta directly in to a microproce s sor, process
ed data may be presented in the field within minutes.
Details of the system are presented in the Poster Session.
