Osprey Tilt String (OTS)
Compact, factory-assembled BUS of low power inclinometer sensors
Overview
The Osprey Tilt String (OTS) is a compact, factory-assembled bus of low power inclinometer sensors used for the measurement of structures at periodic locations. The system can be controlled and interrogated by an advanced serial API, or Modbus RTU interface.
Each sensor within the string contains a triaxial accelerometer, allowing the sensor to report its orientation with respect to gravity in any orientation. Changes in orientation is used to precisely monitor rotation of structures and can be extrapolated to model deformation profiles along a horizontal or vertical line, or around an existing curve.
