In its basic form, system consists of one sensor, linked by cable
to an onboard PC, to give a visual real-time display and analysis of
motions. When in port, system will also calculate the relationship
between the ship's "center of gravity" and its "metacenter".
At least two sensors are required when it becomes necessary to
measure torsion and corresponding hull stress.
The DimMax™
is an electronic equipment that sports a firm housing made of steel
