Designed from the outset with the intention of a seamless workflow, the SWiFT SVP has integral GPS to geo-locate every profile.
This new compact unit features high accuracy SV, Pressure and Temperature as you would expect, plus integral GPS, re-chargeable battery, LED status indications for GPS, battery and communications.
Designed from the outset with the intention of a seamless workflow, the SWiFT profiler provides survey-grade sensor technology coupled with the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity and rechargeable batteries. An integral GPS module, to geo-locate each profile, completes the package. Data can be easily and quickly downloaded and reviewed wirelessly, via Bluetooth, using the SWiFT App on iOS devices and instantly shared, in industry standard SVP formats through email and cloud services. Using the provided USB adapter or cable, Valeport’s DataLog x2 software package provides further tools.
In addition to the directly measured sound speed, temperature and pressure observations, Conductivity, Salinity and Density are calculated using Valeport’s proprietary algorithm developed from extensive laboratory and field work.
With an operational battery life of up to 5 days and the convenience of charging via USB, SWiFT is intended for coastal, harbour and inland hydrographic survey use and offers the highest quality sound velocity profiles in a compact, robust and portable package.
Optionally, the supplied deployment weight is available to bolt onto the sensor protection cage to help get the SWiFT to depth in fast flowing currents.
