Velocimeters
Digibar Pro
The Digibar Pro is the most cost-effective means of obtaining accurate water column sound velocities. Used primarily to calibrate acoustic systems, the Digibar Pro offers a fast and safe method for sound velocity calibration as compared to the traditional "bar-check". Regardless of sea state or current, the probe is simply lowered into the water to log sound velocity / depth samples (by time or depth interval) as the probe descends. The "sing-around" principle of velocity measurement automatically compensates for all influences including pressure, water salinity and temperature.
Digibar V
Designed to provide real-time velocity data to flat array type mulibeam systems, the small size and rugged construction of the Digibar V means it can easily be mounted near the sonar head. Sound velocity is derived using the time of flight measurement method and is accurate to within +/- 0.2 m/sec.
