Argonaut-DVL Overview
 |
The SonTek/YSI Argonaut-DVL (Doppler Velocity Log) measures ocean
currents, vehicle speed over ground, and altimetry all in one affordable package. The
Argonaut-DVL was developed primarily for the underwater vehicle industry because of their
requirements for compact, versatile, and affordable components capable of withstanding
full-ocean depths. The DVL's compact size, low power draw (<0.5W) and
optional 6000-m pressure
rating make it the ideal instrument for offshore exploration, oceanographic studies, and
specialized military applications. |
Features: |
- Typical power consumption (operating): 0.2 to 0.5 W
- Acoustic frequencies: 1.5 MHz, 3.0 MHz
- User-programmable depth cell extends data collection area outside the wake field
- Velocity range: +/- 6 m/s
- Resolution: 0.1 cm/s
- Bottom-Tracking/Altimetry
- Depth ratings to 6000 m (with 1.5-MHz model)
- No calibration or other significant maintenance
- Internal recorder; temperature sensor
- Options: internal flux gate compass, pressure sensor
|
Applications: |
- Navigational instrument, current meter, and altimeter for AUV/ROV field work
