The X•Series of Sensor-Xchangeable Instruments is a family of oceanographic instruments that allows you to change any instrument's sensor-load, in the field and on demand.

With the X•Series, your CTD can become an SVTP; Shallow pressure sensors can be swapped for deep; and temperature range can be extended or tightened, as needed.   Read more...

AML Oceanographic is the only manufacturer of XchangeTM field-swappable sensor-heads. Each XchangeTM sensor-head contains its own embedded calibration, a key part of enabling the sensor to work with any X•Series instrument. It is this embedded calibration - as well as critical electronics components - that ensure that field accuracy is maintained.   Read more...

Because sensor-heads are field-swappable, and because all X Series instruments share the same architecture, you can place whichever sensors you need on your instrument model of choice. Total flexibility - of instrument model, of sensor type, and of sensor range - ensures that the right instrument is always available.   Read more...

A CTD or sound velocimeter that is not in the field is not earning its keep.  Nevertheless, users of oceanographic equipment have been packing up their instruments and shipping them back for annual recalibration for over 50 years.

Field-swappable sensor heads ensure that instruments stay in the field, where they belong.  Instead of removing an instrument from a vessel for recalibration, recently calibrated replacement sensor-heads can be sent directly to the ship.  Because any sensor-head can work on any instrument, sensor-heads are maintained in inventory and can be couriered the same-day or next-day.   Read more...
