TRIAXYS™ Sensors
  The
TRIAXYS™ wave and motion sensors are high precision instruments that
have set a new standard for wave and motion measurement. The innovative
design incorporates new technologies that make them easy to use,
rugged, as well as the most reliable and accurate sensors available
for measuring
oceanic platform motion, waves, and directional wave spectra.
The TRIAXYS™ Directional
Wave Sensor is comprised of three accelerometers and three rate sensors
that ultimately measure
the total displacement along the three orthogonal axes of the floating
platform,
x, y, z or HNE. In addition, this sensor is equipped with a gimbaled
fluxgate compass to measure true magnetic direction.
The TRIAXYS™ Heave Sensor uses the same technology
as the Directional Sensor, but without the compass. This provides
the same six degrees of freedom analysis but without a magnetic direction
reference.
The TRIAXYS™ Motion Sensor also contains three accelerometers
and three angular rate sensors and outputs the raw motion of the
platform.
These sensors use proprietary software developed by the National Research
Council of Canada for data processing within the sensor, and all sensors
have the option of onboard data logging of both the raw collected data
and the final processed data.
Applications of the TRIAXYS™ Directional and Heave Wave Sensors
include weather forecasting, oceanographic research, environmental monitoring,
marine and coastal engineering, marine traffic safety, go/no-go decision
making, and climate studies. The TRIAXYS™ Motion Sensor is used for
wave energy system control, vessel response information, naval architectural
design, platform loading and design, as well as structural and stress analyses.
