Abstract:
In the conservation of water environments, it is necessary to monitor the physico-chemical
parameters, such as color of water, spectroscopic data of water surface, CO2 density,
temperature and pressure around the shore. However, the designing of a flexible multi
parameter sensing system using a computer is generally considered expensive. In addition,
programming and circuitry of a multi-parameter sensing system is complex. A computer also
requires electrical power. In this paper, we propose a new technique to modularize sensors.
Applying this technique, a multi-parameter sensing system can be constructed with relative
ease, and a controlling program of computer and an electrical circuit can be simplified. Using
a small computer, a prototype measurement system was constructed and fundamental
measurement was carried out. The power consumption and data acquisition process are also
discussed.
