Abstract
The serial ASCII Instrumentation Loop (SAIL) is a hardware and software protocol which is used for collecting data from a variety of sources aboard ship. A SAIL controller was implemented using a single-board computer. The software includes a few provisions to allow it to operate without an operator, but essentially it is ordinary PC software. The boards provide an inexpensive and easily accessible method of adding substantial intelligence to instrumentation systems
