| Typically, vertical profilers are self-powered and have memory. Sensor response times are fast and sampling rates are high to ensure data resolution is high. Biofouling is not normally a consideration. |

| Instruments designed for vehicle integration often have a very tight power budget. On platforms moving quickly through the water - either vertically or horizontally - rapid sensor response times are important. Size and form fit are normally a third critical requirement for integration instruments. |

| Instruments used for shipboard installation are frequently externally powered. Biofouling may or may not be an issue. For sea surface sound velocity, ease of maintenance and installation is often a critical issues. |
