The rapidPro SVT has been developed for the rapid collection of sound velocity profiles, without compromising the quality of the data. Now further developed with a new optimised shape and removable ProLogger module that combines a rechargeable lithium ion battery, data logger, GPS receiver and Bluetooth comms module.
The world's very accurate Sound Velocity sensor with virtually instantaneous response time, data acquisition rates of up to 32Hz housed in a low drag housing result in the highest quality profiles at drop rates up to 5 m/s.
Optionally, the rapidPro SVT is designed to operate with the Teledyne OceanScience rapidCAST underway profiling winch to deliver the highest quality SVT casts on the move. While the vessel is underway profiles of up to 450m at 6 knots, are expected.
Sensor Specifications
The rapidPro SVT is fitted with Valeport's digital time of flight sound velocity sensor, strain gauge pressure transducer and Thermistor temperature sensor.
