Aquadopp Profiler 600 kHz - 500 m, Generation 2

Up to 40 m current profiling range; easy to operate and deploy

The Aquadopp Profiler is a highly versatile Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) available in four profiling
range options, from < 1 m to > 85 m. The 600 kHz version has a current profiling range of up to 40 m. Designedfor simple yet powerful operation, this current profiler is packed with features used by engineers and researchers
to enable accurate and effective hydrodynamic data collection in a variety of environmental conditions.

See the details of the Generation 2 Aquadopp updates in the release notes here.
