Development of the Serial Communication for the Measurement System of Ships Keel-Line
Serial communication has been widely used in varies fields, and its application in the measuring system for the keel-line of ships is discussed in this paper. The main function of the measuring system is to fulfill the orientation introducing, thus to realize the unification of coordinates. Serial communication is applied in the measuring system to achieve real-time data communication between self-collimation theodolite, electronic gradienter, center computer and computer of measuring system. The component of a communication system, the function, the system protocol and the program design are introduced in this paper. It is proved that the communication system, which fulfills real-time as well as accurate and reliable data communication, has already been applied in measuring system of ships keel-line.
