SeaView Systems SVS-603 Wave Sensor

The SVS-603 Wave Sensor is a highly accurate MEMS-based sensor that reports heading, wave height, wave period and wave direction via RS-232 or logs to its on-board data logger.

Features

• Plug-and-play interface with full line of NexSens CB-Series data buoys
• Sophisticated onboard electronics provide near-real-time wave statistics
• On-board data logger capable of logging as much as ten years of wave data

Details

The SVS-603 Wave Sensor is a highly accurate MEMS-based sensor that reports heading, wave height, wave period and wave direction via RS-232 or logs to its on-board data logger. The SVS-603 represents a new generation in accuracy and completeness for wave sensing electronics whose features include:

• Very low power consumption; fits the smallest power budget
• Very small footprint; sold packaged or as bare PCB
• MEMS sensors account for 3-D motion, rotation and compass heading in all dimensions to cover nine degrees of freedom
• Sophisticated onboard electronics provide near-real-time wave statistics
• On-board temperature compensation for highest accuracy
• On-board data logger capable of logging as much as ten years of wave data
• Easy configuration to match your exact sensing rate and output requirements
• Readily interfaced with transmitter using NMEA or other configurable data output
• Outputs “First-5” Fourier wave coefficients for NOAA compliant data logging/transmission

• Heading in degrees
• Significant wave height in meters (H_s)
• Wave period in seconds
• Wave direction in degrees from north
• Maximum wave height (H_max)
• Wave period at H_max
• Full wave spectrum (raw or processed)
• Custom outputs as required
