Now equipped with SDI-12 interface: The OTT SVR 100 water surface velocity radar
The Surface Velocity Radar OTT SVR 100 now comes with an integrated SDI-12 interface making it the ideal sensor to collect surface water velocity measurements.
There are many steps to maintain reliable, accurate surface water quantity data across your hydrology network, especially in the face of technology advances, changing regulations, and security updates. And when circumstances make it difficult to get out into the field, or when your team is limited on time or resources, maintaining a network can feel challenging.
One of the most important challenges, when designing monitoring facilities in remote locations, is resilience. Remote tide gauge systems operate in extremely harsh environments and require robust communications systems that almost never fail and are capable of storing large amounts of data locally as extra protection for data. Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) are therefore upgrading the South Atlantic Tide Gauge Network (SATGN) to include the latest low power dataloggers with built-in satellite telemetry capability – the SatLink 3 from OTT HydroMet.
Aquatic Informatics Inc., a provider of critical water data management, analytics, and compliance software for the water industry based in Vancouver, Canada, has been acquired by Danaher’s Water Quality platform from XPV Water Partners.
Data loggers play a crucial role as the brain of a monitoring station, by storing data, calculating parameters, sending alarms, and more. And by using telemetry or remote communication to send data from a data logger, you can almost instantly access your data via computer, server, or smartphone to view and further process.
Survey on datalogger requirements
Even the best developer can’t read minds, so we need your support: With the help of a current survey, we would like to gain insight into your everyday work and find out how well the data loggers you use meet your requirements. Our goal is to use the results to develop data loggers meeting your requirements.
This Tech Tip explains how to set up automatic data transmission from OTT netDL to an FTP server via a mobile Internet connection (GPRS). Please mind that encryption is not possible (sFTP or FTPs are not supported by OTT netDL).

Due to increased demand, we have planned three additional webinars. You can find the scheduled dates and topics below.

Your current working life will certainly look similar to the cover picture for many of you. Most of us from OTT HydroMet are working from home, as well. In order to usefully bridge this time, we set up an interdisciplinary online seminar program for you to keep you up to date despite the COVID 19 crisis…
