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.
Within the X•Series family, there are two real-time instruments, the
Micro•X and the Smart•X. The Micro•X - the instrument in the farthest
background - is a single sensor real-time instrument often used in
transducer mount or sea chest applications. 2nd from back, the Smart•X
is a real-time multi sensor probe designed for AUV, ROV, and other
integration work.
There are also two loggers in the X Series family. The Minos•X -
2nd from front - is a small vertical profiler, ideal for work in
confined spaces like small launches or boat. At front, the Plus•X is a
full-sized multi-parameter instrument ideal for profiling or in-situ
studies. All four of these these instruments are compatible with the
four XchangeTM field-swappable sensor-heads: SV•XchangeTM, C•XchangeTM, P•XchangeTM, and T•XchangeTM. But the X•Series lets you do much more than just adjust the sensor load
of one instrument. All X•Series instruments share a common
architecture. This means that any XchangeTM
sensor-head can be attached to any instrument, regardless of size or
type: real-time probe, vertical profiler, or in-situ logger. What
does this mean? To build upon the example above, one of the
sensor-heads attached to the Smart•X could be redeployed to a Plus•X to
log a vertical profile.
