SBE 26plus Wave & Tide Data Logger

The 26plus integrates pressure samples to obtain water level measurements unaffected by wave action, and also independently burst-samples pressure at up to 4 Hz for wave amplitude calculation. The tide interval is programmable (1 minute to 12 hours). A 26plus with Quartz pressure can continuously measure pressure, or can conserve battery power by removing power from the pressure sensor between tide measurements (programmable integration from 10 sec to the entire tide interval). Temperature data is recorded with each tide. Waves are characterized by burst sampling, with programmable burst interval, number of samples/burst, and integration time. Logging start and stop times are programmable, allowing lab setup before deployment. An input connector for an optional SBE 4M conductivity sensor is standard.
