Smart SV: Ideal for Sea-Surface Sound Velocity measurement
The Smart SV is a real-time instrument ideal for measuring sea surface sound velocity for multi-beam systems. The instrument is also appropriate for integration into AUV or ROV systems. Like all AML sound velocimeters, the Smart SV directly measures the time-of-flight of an acoustic ping. Time-of-flight measurement technology is between 5 and 10x more accurate than traditional CTD based sound velocity equations such as Chen & Millero or Del Grosso.Smart SV
Standard Features:
Time-of-Flight Sound Velocimeter, +/-0.05 m/s accuracy
Small in size and light weight
Externally powered 7.5-26 VDC
Composite sensor eliminates path-length change due to vibration, corrosion and temperature
Low maintenance as no zincs required, hull mounted and sea-chest deployments greatly simplified
High speed sampling: user configurable, up to 25Hz
The Smart as anX•Series Instrument
The Smart is also available as an X•Series. X•Series instruments allow the user to change instrument sensor-load in the field and on demand. With the X•Series, your CTD can be an SVTP; shallow pressure sensors can be swapped for deep; temperature range can be adjusted as needed. All X•Series instruments allow the user to change instrument sensor-load in the field and on demand. The X•Series uses XchangeTM sensor-heads, which are field-swappable, interchangeable, and shareable with all other models of X•Series instruments. Field-swappable sensors also dramatically simplify recalibration. Click here for more detail on the benefits of X•Series.
