Supporting Hydrographic surveys with the latest in technology is always our prime aim and our latest SVP, the SWiFT, does not disappoint. Designed from the outset with the intention of a seamless workflow, the SWIFT SVP has integral GPS to geo-locate every profile. This new compact and robust unit features high accuracy Sound Velocity, Pressure, Temperature, Salinity & Density measurement, plus integral GPS, re-chargeable battery and LED status indications for GPS, battery and communications. A ’twist and go’ action ensures data can be easily and quickly downloaded, reviewed and translated to common SVP formats wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart using the SWIFT APP on iOS devices where data can be instantly shared via FTP, email and cloud services. Valeport’s DataLogX2 software is supplied for those wishing to use a PC. Users of third party survey software from Hypack and QPS will also benefit from direct communication with the probe.

Valeport’s work with MBES manufacturers and OEMs has allowed interesting interfaces of SV sensors and Valeport’s new ultraSV is designed for simple integration and easy exchange where required for both shallow and deep water transducer applications.
