This small autonomous salinity probe DST CTD measures and records conductivity, temperature and pressure. In addition to the three measured parameters the software calculates and displays salinity values and velocity in graphical and tabular form upon data conversion.

-Low conductivity range of 0.1-6 mS/cm and salinity range

-Depth range: 5 to 500 meters.

-Only 50 mm in length and 15 in width: Can easily be mounted to scuba gear, nets or other equipment.

Description

Note: A set of Communication Box and SeaStar software needs to be purchased with the first order.

This small autonomous salinity probe DST CTD measures and records conductivity, temperature and pressure. In addition to the three measured parameters the software calculates and displays salinity values and velocity in graphical and tabular form upon data conversion. It is only 50 mm in length and 15 in width. Due to its small size it is easy to mount it on various gear and nets.

Low conductivity range

This version of the DST-CTD can capture conductivity from 0.1 to 6 mS/cm

Long battery life - up to 5 years

Measuring at 10 minute interval, the logger can last up to 5 years.

Seastar

The DST CTD is supported by the SeaStar software and the Communication Box which serves as an interface between the logger and a PC. Communication between the logger and the Communication Box is wireless.

In SeaStar, the user sets the start time, start date and sampling interval before starting the recorder. Up to seven different intervals can be set for the same measurement sequence. This is especially useful when more frequent measurements are needed at a certain time period. One interval for the whole measurement sequence is more commonly used though.

After recovering the DST data logger, recorded data is uploaded to SeaStar where results are displayed both in graphic and tabular form. After retrieving the data, the logger can be re-programmed and reused as long as the battery lasts.
