ADCP package that enables current direction and velocity measurement while navigating. Significantly reduces the time required for installation and provides high operability and high-precision data.
Nortek's ship-mounted ADCP package, Signature VM, includes verified components (ADCP, GNSS, PC, cables) as a set, lowering the barrier to preparing equipment and expanding opportunities for conducting flow condition observations while navigating. The Signature VM Ocean, which includes the newly released Signature 100 that supports a depth range of 350m, is now available! In addition to flow condition observations (ADCP), it also offers echo sounder (fish finder) functionality. While obtaining flow direction and velocity information, it can display the movement of fish, microorganisms (such as plankton), and suspended particles in real-time on the screen aboard the vessel. Features: - Real-time display of echo sounder functionality (new feature!) - Flow direction and velocity measurement using all 5 beams (4 beams) and depth measurement (vertical beam) - Excellent bottom tracking performance - A consistent system with good response and high operability - A package for unmanned boats (USV/ASV) is also available.
