A wave gauge measurement system is used to acquire the height of a passing wave.  Gauges are positioned at various locations in a laboratory tsunami wave basin.  Data are calibrated and synchronized with the wave generation system.

 

Features:

• National Instruments Compact RIO controller

• stepper motor control for sensor calibration and positioning

• high-rate digital pulse acquisition of wave sensors 

• custom triggering and synchronization

• LabVIEW Real-Time FPGA application provides high speed, deterministic, and reliable control

• LabVIEW Windows application provides a user interface
