What is the profiling speed of the Thetis and is this configurable?
The Thetis profiling speeds are user configurable through the Sea-Bird Scientific Profiler Host software, and can be altered during any telemetry session during a deployment. The user can select profiling speeds ranging from 2 to 35 cm/sec.
What types of telemetry systems are supported for the AMP?
The most common telemetry system utilized is a FreeWave radio system. Transmission times for the science data are typically 20-30 seconds through the FreeWave modem when the receiver is within 3 km of the profiler.Other telemetry systems include a broadband...
When running my SUNA V2 on the bench, the data shows that the lamp is turning on and off. Why is this happening?
