Abstract:

      A node system serves as a communication relay or a control terminal to obtain real-time submarine data information. The paper presents a Linux based software design approach for sea floor observatory network node circuit. It highlights hardware components of node circuit, software functionality analysis and program design of a node client. Experiments prove that the node control software is stable and reliable, easy to be monitored and maintained by a shore station.

Key words: sea floor observatory network, node control software, Linux
