 1Equipo de medida en modelos físicos DHI

Este equipo de medida en modelos físicos está compuesto por sondas nivel, sondas
para instrumentar el movimiento (buques, boyas o peces), células de carga (para
determinar los esfuerzos a los que está sometida una estructura interpuesta a la acción
del agua) y los equipos de control de la instrumentación.
Debido al elevado número y tipología de transductores este equipo permite
aplicaciones en el ámbito de la ingeniería hidráulica, fluvial, marítima y portuaria.
 2Especificaciones Técnicas
The sensors have DHI amplifiers/signal conditioners. The amplifiers may be used
also with other manufacturers' sensors and transducers.
All DHI amplifiers use the same modular size and any DHI amplifier can therefore
be combined and used with the DHI standard cabinet with power supply for 8 modules.
The cabinet also features a common multiconnector connection to the data acquisition
part of the DHI Wave Synthesizer.
• DHI Wave Meters
• DHI Strain Gauge Force Meters
• DHI Strain Amplifier
• DHI Pressure Sensors
• DHI Ship Movement Meters

Data acquisition is available as an optional integral part of DHI Wave Synthesizer

(DHI WS) for Windows XP. Simultaneously with controlling the wavemaker, DHI WS
can make data acquisition from the required number of analogue input channels. The
standard version has 16 input channels.
Data acquisition is controlled by a quartz clock on the supplied I/O board(s). The
sampling frequency is user-defined and may be specified individually for each channel.
The typical total through-put is for instance 32 channels at 200 Hz or a reduced number
of channels at 1,000 Hz. Higher sampling rates are also available.
 Acquired data are stored in a standard format for flexible postprocessing and
display. The stored data files are compatible with file formats used by the previous DHI
Wave Synthesizer for DOS and the new DHI file format used in DHI's numerical
modelling suite, Mike Zero. Furthermore, acquired data can be written to an ASCII file
for easy use in for instance, standard spreadsheet software or other analysis and
presentation tools.
A number of utilities are available for data acquisition under DHI WS:
• Automatic offset scan
• Digital voltmeter
• Editing of calibration constants and offset
• Specification of A/D range and sample frequency for individual channels

DHI WS includes one or several analogue/digital I/O board(s), with the following
features:
• 12 bits input/output resolution
• 2 output channels, ±5 V range
• 16, 32 or 64 input channels per board
• built-in quartz clock

The A/D range is selected independently for each channel. Ranges: ±10 V, ±5 V,
±2.5 V and ±1.25 V
DHI WS requires Windows XP and one available PCI slot for each I/O board.
