EMCON Laboratory Wave Recorder

System consists of

1. Laboratory Operated Wave Recorder/Logger: The electronic data-acquisition unit
receives and records wave sensors and other model study-based sensors and interfaces
with the computer.
2. Capacitance-Based Wave Sensors: For measuring the wave components at different
locations of a wave flume or tank and simultaneous collection of data.
3. Additional Compatible Sensors: The system can also accommodate other
measurement sensors, including run-up, tilt and heave sensors, under water load,
displacement sensors depending on the experimental setup.
4. Data Acquisition Software: Windows-based data-acquisition software to process
high-frequency data, converts measurements into the required units and presenting the data
in a Graphical User Interface software (GUI).
