iCABLE™ is an iSURVEY trademark design used for offshore cable laying navigation, documentation and assistance.
iCABLE™ comes as an addition to iSURVEY’s vessel positioning suite, iNAV®.
The iSURVEY cable calculation software is based on basic catenary calculation with an extension for cable lay on slope.
The software covers three calculation methods:
· Angle meter mounted on stern chute
· Angle meter mounted on subsea object
· Touch Down monitoring by subsea object
The different options can be selected as requested by customer
Displayed values in the cable calculation software will typically be bottom tension, departure angle, touchdown position, KP, DOL, cable speed and cable length.
The Cable Calculation Software has an option for internal logging, witch can be set up by time interval or change in KP values. All calculated values will be available in log file together with the position of the chute and any subsea veichle.
