Valeport has released the latest addition to its portfolio of sound velocity sensors and profilers, the SWiFT SVP.

The handheld profiler has been designed from the outset with the intention of a seamless workflow, and has integral GPS to geo-locate every profile. This new compact unit features high accuracy sound velocity, pressure, temperature, salinity and density measurement, plus integral GPS, re-chargeable battery and LED status indications for GPS, battery and communications.

Using a simple ‘twist and go’ switch on the unit, data can be easily and quickly downloaded, reviewed and translated to common SVP formats wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart, which uses the SWiFT APP on iOS devices where data can be instantly shared via FTP, email and cloud services. Valeport’s standard DataLogX2 software for PC use will also support the SWiFT SVP.

With a battery endurance of up to a week and easy charging via USB, the SWiFT SVP is intended for coastal, harbor and inland hydrographic survey use, and offers the highest quality sound velocity profiles in a compact, robust and portable package.
