Description
The Aquadopp 300 m is a compact, accurate and affordable single-point current meter for applications where a current profile is not needed.
Designed for use in a number of deployment scenarios from mooring lines to bottom-mounted structures, it comes with PUV-based directional wave measurement capability as standard, making it the best value in the industry.
Raw magnetometer data can be stored for post calibration of compass when used without the inductive modem option.
