Streamline SVP data collection with AML’s WiFi device, Data Xchange. Following Beta trials, Data Xchange is set for a March 2015 release. Bringing the benefits of long-range WiFi to X-Series profilers, the device enables wireless data transfer and integrated GPS positioning. Upon surfacing, Data Xchange transfers collected data through an automated WiFi link between profiler and computer at a rate 40 times faster than via cable. “When designing this product, we made backwards compatibility an absolute must. It was important to us to make sure existing customers could experience the benefits of Data Xchange without having to purchase a brand new instrument,” said AML’s President, Robert Haydock. Also important was staying true to the modularity of X-Series and Xchange products: Data Xchange can easily be moved amongst all X-Series profilers. With new SeaCast 4 software, automatic, simultaneous exports to multiple formats further simplifies the process of data collection.
