Abstract :
The TRIAXYS™ Directional Wave Sensor, manufactured by AXYS Technologies Inc. (AXYS), has been a leading technology for directional wave measurements since its inception in the late 1990´s. Product improvements have been made over the years related to the onboard micro-processor, but the technology surrounding the acquisition of raw motion data for analysis of vertical displacement, and north and east velocities in six degrees of freedom has not changed, until now. The latest release of the sensor, the TRIAXYS Next Wave II Directional Wave Sensor, will utilize a new inertial sensor to capture the raw motion data for wave analysis using the same techniques that have made the sensor a world leading technology. The sensor will carry additional features including a smaller size, lower power requirements, and improved ranges and accuracies.
