The paper describes the design philosophy and functions of a new
general purpose oceanographic instrument which is presently being
tested as a prototype.
The instrument combines established oceanic sensors with modern
microprocessor and display technology. The basic idea behind the
design is to make a compact and modular "workhorse" instrument
that interacts with both humans and computers in a natural way.
The instrument is presently able to measure and to in situ process
current speed, direction, temperature, depth and salinity. The
processed data may be in recorded in the instrument, visually
displayed from the instrument or continously transferred to
external processing devices via cable. Other sensors in addition
to the already mentioned may be added in the future.
