CURRENT PROFILER RDI Workhorse Monitor ADCP
R D I currentmeter The 300 kHz Workhorse Monitor ADCP is designed for bottom-mounted real-time current profiling in shallow and coastal waters.  With its exceptionaly small size and low profile, the Monitor is idealy suited for operation in shallow coastal areas as for integration into larger instrumentation systems. Designed for simple operation, the Monitor offers robust, low-noise performance with state-of-the-art BroadBand signal processing.

MOTION SENSOR OCTANS-III


Now MeteoMer use OCTANS-III for Motions measurements

OCTANS is a solid-state, highly compact and reliable Gyrocompass with an integral Motion Sensor for demanding marine applications. In contrast with conventional gyrocompasses relying on a delicate spinning gyroscope, OCTANS has no moving parts and utilizes instead a set of 3 fixed, state-of-the-art fiber-optic gyroscopes and sophisticated computer algorithms to lock on true north and to provide full attitude.
