National Shipbuilding Research Program, 1990 Ship Production Symposium, Paper No. 5A-2: Computerized Angle Measurement for Inclining Experiments.

摘要

This paper examines the application of the latest in precision electronic angle measurement instrumentation, combined with portable computer technology, to the measurement of the angles of inclination during inclining experiments. The Computerized Angle Measurement System (CAMS), developed by ITS Inc., will be described as to its configuration and function including the methods used in data acquisition to enhance both its ease of use and accuracy of the results. The software for data acquisition will also be discussed. The CAMS will be compared to traditional pendulums and mechanical tangent inclinometers in the areas of accuracy, cost, and ease of use. CAMS will be shown to be a very accurate, cost effective, and easy to use tool for angle measurement during inclining experiments.
