Conceptually, inductive moorings seem complex – communicating with 100 instruments through a single cable doesn’t exactly sound intuitive. But, in practice, the setup is surprisingly simple. Watch our latest video to see how easy it is to test and simulate an inductive modem mooring.

Moored CTD Troubleshooting Guide
Deploying a moored CTD can be a game of trust. Nobody wants to return to their long-estranged CTD to find poor data quality. Of course, nobody wants to visit the middle of the ocean everyday either. Fortunately, we’ve created a basic troubleshooting guide for moored...
5 Inductive Modem Configurations
Inductive modem moorings are capable and flexible. Learn how 1 mooring line can facilitate real-time data for up to 100 instruments, in 5 unique configurations.
Photo Contest Winners
We poured over the photo contest entries and voted on our favories. See the winners and access links to the full galleries.
Inductive Modem Telemetry
IM systems eliminate the need for connectors entirely, transforming a mooring’s tether into a medium for real-time data transmission.
Q&A: Measurements Along the Tidal Cycle
Zooming in shows salinity and dissolved oxygen are fluctuating heavily alongside the tidal cycle. Can you determine what is causing this?
Video: Cabling an Analog Output Sensor to a CTD
With auxiliary sensor integration, the humble CTD becomes a powerful hub for sampling and data. Learn how to identify the required cable for any sensor integration.
Video: Replacing O-rings on a 9plus CTD
Watch how one of our Senior Service Technicians replaces the O-rings on the endcap of a 9plus CTD using specialized tools.
Q&A: Identifying Data Types
Can you correctly label the 4 plots? Hint: this area is subject to periods of eutrophication during the late summer/early fall.
Video: Troubleshooting Analog Sensors
Integrating analog sensors is relatively painless, at least compared to the more finicky RS-232 sensors. But what happens when you've diligently followed the instructions yet fail to receiving data from your sensor? Watch our troubleshooting video to learn our methods...
