APOS
Acoustic positioning operating station for HiPAP and HPR
The HiPAP and the HPR systems are operated from the acoustic positioning operation station (APOS) - a computer with a Windows based operating software. The systems can be operated from one single APOS station or from a wide number of APOS operator stations connected to a network. The APOS software can be integrated with Kongsberg Maritime Dynamic Positioning systems.
APOS system
The Acoustic Processing Computer (APCxx) is a powerful industrialized standard computer available in 19 inch rack, desktop or console versions.
The software is specially designed to meet the subsea survey and DP operator demanding requirements and is programmed on a standard Windows operating platform.
A standard PC keyboard, with numerical keys and a trackball, controls the operation.
The screen is divided into 3 windows in which the operator can select several different views: graphical position plot, numerical data, inclination, roll, pitch and heading.
One system may have one or several operator stations, which communicates on an Ethernet. One of the operator stations will be the master. This is selected by the operator(s).
