Hydromagic Manual Inclinometer Plugin

The Hydromagic Manual Inclinometer Plugin is a plugin with graphical user interface designed to let you set the current suction tube angle manually. You can use this plugin in Hydromagic Dredging to simulate a real cutter or hopper dredger, for instance for demo purposes, or to test your new dredger configuration at the office before installing the software in the field.

Using the manual inclinometer plugin

Once the manual inclinometer plugin has been loaded, it will use the selected angle data to calculate the dredging depth each second. It will also update the side and top views of the digging views. To change the simulated angle value of the suction tube of the hopper or cutter dredger configuration, you can either use the 'arrow up' and 'arrow down' buttons. To enter an exact value, input the new angle value in the edit field.

You can enter the angle value or use the arrow buttons.
