Building Blocks

Coastal's building block approach to state of the art field data collection uses completely modular hardware and software architecture to create an instrument that fits the needs of the customer.  This versatile approach simplifies production of both the standard and custom configurations of the Series.  Standard configurations include, but are not limited to:  tide gauges, wave gauges, turbidometers, accelerometers, current meters, CTDs, temperature recorders, directional wave gauges and wind gauges.  A few of the many advantages of this system include:

bullet

Economy.  The Standard Series greatly defrays development costs.

bullet

Reliability.  The completely solid-state design uses proven logger and sensors.

bullet

Convenience.  User-friendly Wizard PC software controls all instruments.

bullet

Versatility.  Options, upgrades, and customization is a simple process.

This results in equipment that is sophisticated yet simple, powerful yet practical, economical yet high-quality.  Most importantly, Coastal's instruments are reliable and extremely easy to use.

Hardware Blocks

Building upon the principles of providing instruments with the economy, reliability, convenience and versatility Coastal's hardware blocks make up the physical components of a Coastal unit.  Each instrument can be characterized by:

bullet

Capacity.  Storage of tens of thousands to millions of samples.

bullet

Sensors.  Wide range of field proven sensors determines function.

bullet

Sampling.  Microprocessor runs sampling, averaging, bursts, and storage.

bullet

Communications.  Internal recording, telemetry, or networked options.

bullet

Power. Units run for months or longer using alkaline batteries. 

bullet

Housing. Self-contained equipment suitable for a range of environments.

Software Blocks

Coastal's Wizard software runs any of our building block instruments.  Wizard runs on DOS and uses windows, graphics, and help keys for many user friendly functions:

bullet

Read.  Post-deployment download of data from instrument to computer.

bullet

Examine.  Basic data review tools, including plots with tabular listings.

bullet

Initialize.  Establishment of deployment sampling scheme and duration.

bullet

Monitor.  Display of sensed data in real time and engineering units.

bullet

Process.  Conversion of data to engineering units, saved in ASCII files.

Companion PCSpec and PCSpec+ software for nondirectional and directional wave measurements provide spectral analysis capability.  Related programs, such as Wizard+, provide real time displays and telemetry.
