SonTek FlowTracker Handheld Velocity Meter | |


 | Description The SonTek FlowTracker measures point velocity without ever needing calibration and is designed for discharge measurement in wadeable streams.
Features 2D side looking Doppler probe measures velocity in depths down to 2cm Automatic discharge computation protocols (ISO/USGS mid-section, and mean-section) Conveniently attaches to standard USGS-style wading rods

|
Details: Ready for any challenging outdoor condition, the FlowTracker Handheld ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter) measures 2D or 3D currents, attaches easily to wading rods, and features an automatic discharge computation using a variety of international methods, including ISO and USGS standards. At the end of the data run, just press a button and the FlowTracker calculates the discharge for you!
The FlowTracker's unique acoustic Doppler ADV sensor measures point velocity without needing calibration. Velocity and diagnostic data are saved in the waterproof handheld display unit, and discharge can be calculated with the push of a button. Detailed 1-second velocity data, diagnostic data, and discharge summary reports can then be uploaded to your PC. The FlowTracker attaches to USGS-style wading rods.
Additional features include Low-profile 2D ADV water velocity sensor on 2m flexible cable; measures in depths down to 2cm (1 inch) Automatic discharge computation protocols (ISO/USGS mid-section, mean-section, and Japanese) Handheld keypad interface with real-time display Velocity methods ISO, USGS, under ice, Kreps, 5-point, multipoint LCD/Keypad languages English, French, German, Italian, Spanish Documentation languages English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish Recorder space Up to 64 discharge measurements or over 150,000 individual velocity samples Data set documentation Up to 20 values of time-stamped user comments, including gauge height and rated flow QA/QC Automated data review and discharge uncertainty calculations FlowTracker software package Windows-based; includes diagnostic beam-check, recorder access, data visualization, customizable reports, and multi-language support Output compatible with FlowPack velocity-indexing software tool Temperature sensor Hard plastic case SmartQC - SmartQC is a built-in quality control feature that gives you the added assurance your FlowTracker data are correct. With each measurement, data are compared to a variety of adaptive QC criteria to ensure the best measurement possible. SmartQC promises that your FlowTracker system is performing at optimum standards and that your data are precise, reliable, and exceeds your service expectations
