Offshore Survey 3  Product Specification An advanced but simple to use Offshore Survey program for the the Psion Series 3 , written to take full advantage of the Series 3's capabilities. Menus give easy selection of functions and "reactive dialogs" make the program particularly easy to use. Offshore Survey 3 is designed for the Hydrographic Surveyor and Survey Ship's Officer and combined with a Psion Series 3 computer makes a handy pocket-sized survey tool. OFFSHORE SURVEY 3 Includes: Non-volatile memory for system settings. Facilities for 20 spheroid definitions, 20 projection definitions, 20 survey control stations, 10 datum shift definitions, 10 offset definitions, 10 standard tidal port definitions and 6 LOPs defined for computation.Geodetic computations include conversion between Grid, Geographical and Cartesian co-ordinates, all with computed convergence and scale factor. Conversion using datum shifts. Computation of true and grid distances between grid coordinates. Computation of great circle distance and bearing between geographical co-ordinates. Survey computations include: Baseline lengths between any two stored survey stations. Fix by range/range, Hyperbolic, Time Pulse, Range and bearing, grid or true bearings FROM (Intersection),grid or true bearings TO (Resection). Inverse fix using any of the foregoing methods. Computation of free or supported chain catenary and chainage/clearance computation, shown on graphic display. Target coordinates can be used for dead reckoning update. Sun azimuth can be computed using an Almanac. Utilities include: Tidal curve computed for a day with graphic display of curve and cursor to find individual heights and times. Lines utility allowing definition of a pipeline route or individual lines; used during during fix computation to give alongtrack and offtrack data. All ouput can be sent to parallel printer, serial port or disk file. Offshore Survey 3 is distributed by Dolphin Maritime Software Ltd on behalf of Hydro Projects Ltd. Minimum System Requirements Psion Series 3 or 3a Computer with 30 Kilobytes free internal disk space.  |
