YSI i3XO Fully Automatic Underwater Ecological Tomography Imager

The YSI fully automatic underwater ecological tomography imaging instrument equipped with the YSI 6 series multi parameter water quality monitoring instrument automatically locates and travels according to the pre-set route depth and stopping position, and automatically measures the water quality at the preset position during the journey. At the same time, it uses the carried sonar to scan the underwater terrain. After completing the monitoring task, it will automatically return to the corresponding position according to the system settings.

This system provides a powerful data collection platform for researchers in terms of mobility and work performance.

Monitoring project

Temperature, pH ORP、 Conductivity, specific conductivity, salinity, resistance, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, ROX optical dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll, blue-green algae (seawater or freshwater), rhodamine, depth, PAR (facing up) and PAR (facing down)

System composition

·Monitoring instrument: YSI6 series multi parameter water quality monitoring instrument

·Data collection and transmission:

·Data collection and control; Low energy X86 processor, 80GB data disk

·Wi Fi: Wireless 802.11g Ethernet (communication distance up to 200 meters)
