MIDAS 400 Customised Data Acquisition Package
MIDAS 400 Customised Data Acquisition System
 The MIDAS 400 (Multi-Input Data Acquisition System) is a more than just a logger - it is a complete sensor control and data acquisition system, customised to each client's individual specifications. At the heart of the system is Valeport's "400 series" processor. A large range of standard oceanographic sensors may be added to the system in a "plug and play" style, using a series of dedicated interface boards. In this way, an individually tailored suite of sensors can be controlled by a single standard software package, providing features such as synchronised sampling, conditional sampling, delay start and secondary calibrations. A choice of standard housing materials is available, including anodised aluminium and titanium, or alternatively shore based or OEM configurations can be supplied.
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.
Model 803 ROV Current Meter
The Model 803 is designed specifically for use on ROVs and other underwater vehicles, providing real time relative water velocity information for pilots. It may be fitted to ROVs to provide actual through the water speeds, or fitted to Tether Management Systems to give measurement of local flow conditions. Measurements are updated every second and the ROVLog™ software provides a graphic and data display, and enables data to be logged to disk.
