Overview

Rediscover your ADCP!

Origin offers resounding resolution on data detail.

Giving you a choice of either industry standard or up to ten times greater resolution with our exclusive proprietary data formats, Origin 600 delivers you the finest detail ADCP data in near real time.

Reduce your survey costs, risks and time! With a 50-metre current profiling range, on-board Edge data processing and an integrated acoustic modem, Origin 600 provides you with in-situ, high resolution measurements and on-demand data retrieval.

Make time-critical decisions with near real-time data delivery

Analyse the structure of your velocity and backscatter intensity data in far finer detail than previously possible with our proprietary formats delivering up to ten times greater spatial resolution. Origin 600 delivers conventional PD0 data as standard, whilst logging the higher resolution data to further enhance your results. All data is recorded to the onboard storage unit with 1 TB capacity.

Reduce your risks and device retrieval costs with power-efficient electronics and a rechargeable internal battery which allows deployments of up to three months on a single charge. A dual battery option allows you to operate longer or more energy demanding deployments. External power can be supplied by PoE, allowing you to program and download data without a separate power supply.

Monitor waves, mean currents and turbulence using Origin 600’s five-beam configuration and sampling frequency of up to 4 Hz on all beams. Your Origin’s built-in acoustic modem enables you to remotely access the unit while it’s deployed using an accompanying topside modem (sold separately) and the Origin Topside PC software. This allows you to check battery and storage, inspect and upload data, reconfigure schedules and run quality control, all whilst your ADCP is on the seabed.

Add external sensors to your ADCP mounting frame, and fuse with your Origin data via the Edge processing software, to really get the most out of every single deployment. You can upload sensor apps via Origin Portal or Topside and the resulting data will be exported over the acoustic modem.

What is Edge?

Discover the key to your customised ADCP data…

A suite of intuitive software tools and the Sonardyne Edge computing environment allows you to get the most out of your Origin 600. The Origin Portal web UI lets you configure your ADCP in operational conditions, including modification of the sampling schedule. Reduce your operational risks by setting your schedules before deployment using the Origin Scheduler PC application. Two schedules can be run together, allowing dual monitoring tasks to be performed with a single device. File data can be inspected using the Origin Viewer software package.

Origin 600 is compatible with your standard mounting infrastructure, reducing your risk and cost for upgrading to this device. For a complete solution, we can provide a dedicated, rugged stand with space for dual redundant releases.
