Product Details
Sound Velocity Profiler
Designed from the outset with the intention of a seamless workflow,
the SWiFT SVP profiler provides survey-grade sensor technology coupled
SOUND
with the convenience of Bluetooth® connectivity and rechargeable SPEED
batteries. An integral GNSS module, to geo-locate each profile, completes
the package. Data can be easily and quickly downloaded and reviewed
wirelessly via Bluetooth connectivity using Valeport’s Ocean software
for Windows, iOS or Android. Data can be instantly shared, in industry MULTI-PARAMETER
standard data formats through email and cloud services. A USB Cable and CTD
Bluetooth adapter are provided.
In addition to the directly measured sound speed, temperature and
OCEAN & CONNECT PATH-
pressure observations, Conductivity, Salinity and Density are calculated WAY EDITION
SOFTWARE
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 SVP 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 USB Rechargeable GNSS
