Abstract
A shipboard system for acquisition and logging of oceanographic data currently under development utilizes seagoing microVAX computers running the VMS operating system. The separate functions of data acquisition, logging, and display are performed by independent programs. Data are transferred between programs by using a common database resident in the computer memory. An example of the system is a working system of routines to acquire, log, and display oceanographic data collected by a shipboard SAIL (Serial ASCII Instrumentation Loop) system
