For decades, the Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV®) has been the preferred instrument for precisely-defined sampling of water velocity across a wide range of environments. The FlowTracker2 Lab ADV utilizes SonTek’s continuing innovation in ADV platforms to offer a laboratory version of the world’s best-selling ADV, the FlowTracker2. For the first time, the ADV’s acoustic probe and processing electronics are housed in one small, lightweight, easilymaneuverable unit, and the acoustic head has an optional, integrated pressure (depth) sensor.

Depth data are even correctable for dynamic pressure (Bernoulli) and altitude effects using SonTek’s patent-pending method. Setup of the probe and PC software is simple and mistake-proof. Just connect the cables between the probe and your laboratory PC or laptop, check a few settings, and press the “Start Logging” button. Data are output directly to a *.CSV file that is immediately ready for use in the project, model, or database as required.

Output Variables Available
