Performing a Measurement System Power Budget

Analyzing a measurement system power budget is a useful practice to help ensure that a proposed system design will meet the monitoring objectives and reliably deliver data. To aid with this, NexSens has developed a power budget tool which can quickly estimate the expected power performance of systems using the most common NexSens buoy platforms, […]
