The DVL500 Compact combines the compact design of the standard DVL1000 with the superior bottom-track range of the DVL500. It can fly higher in the water column and closer to the seabed than similar equipment, enabling small vehicles to do bigger jobs.
Highlights
Bottom-track from 0.3-175 m range
Per-ping and per-beam data quality estimates
4000 m operational depth
Applications
Small vehicles requiring longer bottom-track range
Compact AUVs with high accuracy requirements
Easy integration with leading inertial navigation systems (INS)
Configurable RS-232 or RS-422, SubConn connector, 8-pin male
Ethernet
10/100 Mbits Auto MDI-X. TCP/IP, UDP/IP, HTTP protocols. Fixed IP / DHCP client /Auto IP address assignment. UPnP and Nortek proprietary instrument discovery over Ethernet. IEEE1588/PTP and NTP for absolute time stamping. Multiple simultaneous data format transmission possible.
Data formats
Nortek proprietary w/ 1 ms time stamp accuracy, NMEA0183, variants of PDx
