1 SWiFT Profilers - Introduction
The SWiFT profiler is available in two main forms – SVP and CTD. The SVP is fitted with sound
velocity, temperature and pressure sensors, the CTD is fitted with conductivity, temperature and
pressure sensors. Configuration and data download is via dedicated Valeport Ocean software - PC
or mobile device and can be integrated into 3
rd
party software if required.
Designed from the outset for a seamless workflow, SWiFT profilers provide survey-grade sensor
technology coupled with the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity and rechargeable batteries, an
integral GPS module, to geo-locate each profile, completes the package. Data can be easily and
quickly downloaded and reviewed wirelessly, via Bluetooth, using the either Valeport's Ocean for
PC or mobile for portable devices and instantly shared, in industry standard formats through email
and cloud services. Alternatively, use the provided USB data and charging cable to connect to
Valeport’s Ocean software package.
In addition to the directly measured sound speed, temperature and pressure observations of the
SVP version, Conductivity, Salinity and Density are calculated using Valeport’s proprietary
algorithm developed from extensive laboratory and field work;
For the Swift CTD, sound speed, salinity and density are calculated from the Conductivity,
temperature and pressure data.
With a minimum battery life of 5 days continuous use, in profiling mode and the convenience of
charging via USB, SWiFT is intended for coastal, harbour and inland hydrographic survey use and
offers the highest quality profiles in a compact, robust and portable package.
