Design of XBT Automatic Projection and Measurement System

Article Preview

Abstract:

With XBT automatic project and measurement system, the automatically ordered projection and data collection of six XBT measurement probes can be implemented in the non-artificial intervention. In this paper, the data acquisition and control unit designs of the measurement system are introduced. The following functions implemented in this system include remote projection control, proximal status display, and water temperature collection, storage, and transfer, etc. After experimental verification, this system can not only quickly acquire all sorts of special and severe sea hydrologic conditions, but also can reduce artificial projection costs, so that the projection automation and success rate of XBT probes are enhanced.
