UltraLab ULS Advanced Sophisticated Level and Wave Measurements for Labs
The UltraLab ULS Advanced is a high-speed, calibration-free, remote sensing measurement system based on General Acoustics’ well-known innovative high- performance airborne ultrasonic ultrasound technology. Designed for time efficient, very reliable and high-resolution wave measurements, it is optimized for challenging measurement applications in towing tanks and hydraulic laboratories. It features powerful signal processing for false and lost echo cancelation for outstanding performance at high-speed measurements, even at steep, breaking and very fast-moving waves with a relative velocity up to 15 m/s. Freely switchable to 50 Hz / 100Hz measurement mode for best results both at high-speed dynamic and lower-speed, stationary applications. With the fully digitized ULS Advanced system ranges we have solved problems with lost signals at steep and breaking waves and minimized issues with the proximity between sensors. This is achieved through the synchronized operation of all channels, the sophisticated signal processing and advanced lost-, false and multi-path echo cancellation processes.
The UltraLab ULS Advanced features four independent, fully-synchronized channels allowing very close spacing between sensors. Each channel can be equipped with up to three sensors for maximum reliability at very high speeds. With the 100 Hz measuring/sample rate, every measurement unit detects high dynamic processes in an impressive resolution of 0.18 mm within the measurement range between 200 and 1.200 mm, sufficient to fully detect all phases of a
breaking wave and show the actual level at the surface of the wave. The integrated high-precision sound velocity sensor makes the system calibration-free and guarantees an accuracy of 1 mm, even at changing ambient conditions.
The UltraLab ULS Advanced is equipped with LAN, RS232 and trigger interfaces for hassle-free connectivity to external measurement systems. The direct readable ASCII output format can be easily imported to any processing tool. A trigger input is implemented for time synchronisation with external measurement systems and data acquisition.
