Data Acquisition And Processing System

OSCAR ELTON SETTE is outfitted with an upgraded oceanographic system. The Scientific Computer System (SCS) is a computer system and network that collects, stores, processes and retrieves a variety of oceanographic data from navigation sensors, environmental sensors, bathymetric sonar systems, and other mission sensors. The SCS consists of two networked computer systems that provide both data acquisition and data processing functions. One computer is dedicated to acquire, log, and display data in real-time, as well as perform real-time data quality assurance functions. The second computer is dedicated to shipboard scientists for data analysis and their research. Data can be transmitted to other stations worldwide via satellite communications links.
