Control Software
Software overview and full documentation can be found at www.sixclear.com
Bellamare's control station uses SIXCLEAR JADE, to log and display data, and to control your towed vehicle.
The BELLAMARE FLIGHT CONTROL module will indicate the vehicle depth and altitude over time and in the case of ROTVs provides the ability to manually control or automate undulations, constant depth dives or to follow the ocean contour.
JADE is a powerful application development environment that provides robustness and a high level of configurability - without writing code. It lets you create any number of applications by dragging plugin modules. A series of plugins becomes its own executable application and therefore you have the ability to create and modify your control interface as desired.
A typical application will be made of several serial instrument modules to receive data from instruments and perhaps of a Basler video plugin to stream images. A Relay Manager plugin would allow you to turn instrument on/off, while the Multiple Charts plugin will display plot of any data in real-time. JADE Worker would monitor proper functioning and communication for your peace of mind.
