MIDAS BathyPack Bathymetry Package
The BathyPack is one of Valeport's premier MIDAS products, using state of the art sensors to generate precision Sound Velocity and Density profiles for highly accurate depth and height data. The simple top-end PC software, BathyLog, also allows all profile data to be used to monitor and correct multiple miniIPS pressure sensors, giving you the complete picture with one integrated sensor suite.
BathyLog Bathymetry Display Software
BathyLog is a Windows based software package, supplied with the MIDAS BathyPack product. It acts as the hub of the sensor suite, logging and displaying data from the BathyPack and additional miniIPS sensors, and using real time or pre-loaded density data to give accurate depth information from the measured pressure data.
miniIPS Intelligent Pressure Sensor

The miniIPS is a precision underwater pressure sensor; 0.01% accuracy, a titanium housing and a choice of pressure ranges make it a cost effective solution for offshore engineers, vehicle pilots, and other operators who require highly accurate depth information in real time. The miniIPS is also compatible with Valeport's MIDAS BathyPack and BathyLog software, allowing the depth data to be continually updated for Density variations in the water column.
MIDAS Surveyor GPS Echosounder
The MIDAS Surveyor has been designed to offer a low cost solution for small scale hydrographic surveys. The system is supplied with a 210kHz transducer as standard, and uses Valeport's own advanced digital signal processing techniques to ensure high accuracy and reliable bottom tracking. With an integral SBAS enabled DGPS receiver, the MIDAS Surveyor will log position and depth data for over 30 hours, as well as performing on-line correction using external heave and tide data inputs. Options include an additional 33kHz transducer, or high accuracy 16 channel DGPS receiver.
Soundbar 2 Digital Bar Checker
SoundBar2 Digital Bar Checker

The SoundBar 2 Digital Bar Checker offers a convenient, quick and safe method of obtaining sound velocity data for calibration of echosounders and other acoustic devices. Developed from the acclaimed miniSVS sound velocity sensor, the SoundBar 2 uses a digital time of flight technique that gives the most accurate sound velcoity data in the world. Coupled to a pressure sensor in a durable titanium housing, the SoundBar 2 is lowered through the water column, measuring the sound velocity as it goes. The display unit records this data and presents the mean sound velocity value over the profile, which may then be output in a variety of industry standard formats to the echosounder.

Model 740 Portable Tide Gauge

The Model 740 is a small, cost effective Water Level Recorder, specifically designed for applications where the user simply requires an accurate record of water height, rather than the more sophisticated tide gauges that Valeport offer. Suitable for use in fresh or salt water, the 740 can be deployed for up to 2 years, dependant on the sampling rate, with instrument set up and data retrieval via PC software supplied. Alternatively, the system can be supplied with radio modules for real time data transmission.
