| Abstract | A prototype instrumentation system has been developed and fabricated to furnish stability information about a moored navigational buoy. The parameters necessary to define this stability are listed and the electro-mechanical transducers selected to measure these parameters are discussed. By utilizing a command and data transmission telemetry system, analog data were recorded and used to determine the types of instrumentation best suited to this application. A discussion of the results of testing and project recommendations conclude the report. |
