The MIDAS ECM is a highly versatile point current meter, designed with durability and ease of deployment in mind. Valeport's latest electronics architecture allows multiple additional sensors, and a variety of communications options, making it one of the few multi-parameter current meters that allows real time operations over several thousand metres of cable, as well autonomous deployments. A choice of Titanium or Acetal housing gives depth rating up to 5000m.

Data Acquisition
Continuous: Regular output from all sensors at 1, 2, 4 or 8Hz.
Burst: Regular sampling pattern, where instrument takes a number of readings, then sleeps for a defined time.
Conditional: Instrument sleeps until a selected parameter reaches a set value.
Delay: Instrument sleeps until predefined start time
