Velocimeter FlowTracker2

Velocimeter FlowTracker2

The FlowTracker 2 is a handheld acoustic doppler velocimeter that portable, practical, and precise. It has been upgraded from the original FlowTracker as it comes with functional, modernised features such as Bluetooth, GPS, and a large colour screen. These features have been added by the engineers using the feedback given from hydrologists, researchers, and scientists who used the original FlowTracker.

The real power becomes clear when you start to collect data on this velocimeter as each step guides you along the measurement process with visual prompts and SmartQC audio alerts in case there is an issue that needs attention. The handheld software is intuitive, easy to use, and includes real-time plots of point data, QC parameters, and measurement verticals so everything you need is displayed. The rugged construction means that it is suitable for any climate and multiple display options for both day and night so that the velocimeter can go wherever you need it to go.

Key Features:

• Embedded GPS for georeferencing with automatic or manual fixes
