The Danish marine safety equipment manufacturer Daniamant has launched its tugboat version of their Electronic Inclinometer named DanEI-300T. The[ds_preview] new DanEI-300T is in principle identical to the standard version DanEI-300, which consists of a sensor unit and a display. The sensor includes an advanced gyro MEMS component, an advanced accelerometer MEMS component as well as a microcontroller. »And through complex algorithms, the so-called »6 degrees of freedom” (6 D-o-F) are all accurately calculated«, Daniamant stated. These data are sent from the sensor to the display unit, from which they can be retrieved either via serial or Ethernet (marine) interface and in standard NMEA format. The system is self-calibrating and the sensor does not require a special location, as position to the tugboat`s centerline is calculated automatically.
