Compact with Multiple Sensors
Starmon Compass is a multi-sensor instrumentation with built-in sensors providing time-stamped measurements of compass heading, pitch & roll, 3-D tilt, pressure, depth and temperature. The compact sized loggers dimensions are 236 mm length x 40 mm diameter. All measurements are recorded simultaneously at a user-defined interval.
Application
The Starmon Compass logger is a unique research tool for collecting data on heading direction (yaw) and tilt (pitch & roll) of gear in underwater environments, for both short and long-term deployments:
Monitoring yaw, pitch and roll of scientific instruments and frames during surveys at different depths, for study enhancement, currents and cable rotation monitoring
Heading, pitch and roll of towed equipment, for example hydrophone arrays
Long-term monitoring at ocean mooring lines with scientific instruments, analysing movements
Movements of underwater robots and unmanned vehicles (AUV, ROV)
Fishing gear studies, for gear behaviour analysis at different fishing depths
Oil and gas pipeline inspection, for example pig launching (pigging)
