Data AcQuisition software (HR DAQ)
The Data AcQuisition software (HR DAQ) is used to collect and analyse data from a variety of instruments used in physical models such as wave gauges, Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (ADV) and pressure sensors.
Product features:
- Specifically designed for wave analysis
- Instrument calibration
- Data collection
- Spectral analysis
- Statistical and wave counting analysis
- Reflection analysis
This comprehensive Windows based data acquisition and analysis program, suitable for 64 analogue input channels, is project based and is split into three sections.
Calibration and scaling of inputs
The calibration section allows the modeller to calibrate any instruments installed in physical models that require regular in-situ calibration, such as resistance type wave probes. It also allows the modeller to enter factory calibrations for other sensors such as pressure sensors.
This section creates calibration files for use with the acquisition and analysis sections. It provides a comprehensive set of facilities for setting up the calibration files that are used to convert the analogue voltage signals in the model, to data at full scale, assuming Froude or Reynolds scaling.
Data acquisition
HR DAQ is set to collect raw data for a specified period of time at a specified frequency.
Data analysis
After the data has been collected, HR DAQ can be used to perform a number of analysis routines. The principal analysis program includes two routines; one is a Fast Fourier Transform spectral analysis and the other a statistical one.

Marine, Naval, Hydrodinamic and OceanographARCboat Lite
This new, smaller lighter solution shares many of the features of the original vessel, but we have optimised it to carry out bathymetric and river current surveys in lower flow environments.
With a robust, lightweight hull, the ARCboat Lite has been specifically designed for use by a single person. Its detachable bow and grab rails make it easy and safe to handle, deploy and recover from survey sites.
High manoeuvrability and shallow draft combine to allow the ARCboat Lite to reach more of a survey site than has been previously possible.
The ARCboat Lite is built around a central moon-tube, which not only provides strength at the core of the vessel, but can also accommodate a wide range of sensors, such as SBES and ADCP, from a wide range of manufacturers. Other survey instrumentation, such as the top-box and communications equipment, is housed in the purpose designed hull recess.
The ARCboat Lite is an highly effective alternative to larger, more expensive survey vessels.
