AML-6 RTS (Real-Time)
This entry level version of the AML-6 is commonly deployed on buoys and underwater observatories, as well as on ROVS and AUVs. The AML-6 RTS is designed for real-time data streaming, and has neither battery nor memory. A bulkhead connector brings power to the sonde and streams data back to the user.
Common use cases include:
- Multi-Parameter Monitoring Suspended from an Observation Buoy
- ROVs Equipped with Conductivity, Sound Velocity, Temperature, Pressure, and Crude Oil Sensors
- Multi-Parameter Monitoring Connected to a Cabled Observatory
AML-6 LGR (Logger)
The industry standard for high accuracy profiling, the LGR is predominantly used for water column work. This version of the AML-6 comes with a Lithium Ion battery and onboard memory. Data transfer is effected via WiFi or USB connectivity. To maximize reliability, the sonde’s power is turned on / off with a magnetic switch rather than a bulkhead connector.
Common uses cases include:
- Citizen Science Collection of Multi-Parameter Data (ie. Conductivity, Temperature, Pressure, Dissolved Oxygen, pH)
AML-6 XC – (Dual Capability)
The premium version of the AML-6 includes both data logging and real-time streaming features. This dual capability version of the sonde is valuable to those who value redundancy, either redundancy of data logging or redundancy of power supply. Similarly, this version of AML-6 is useful for those who have requirements that vary mission by mission.
Common uses cases include:
- Science Projects with varying sensor payload requirements
- General Long Term Deployments
