BioSonics DT-X Extreme is an innovative, versatile echosounder system that expands your opportunities for data collection. The DTX Extreme works as a portable system for mobile surveys, or as an autonomous data logger for long-term, fixed station monitoring applications.
For autonomous data collection, temporarily connect your laptop/PC to program data collection parameters and desired duty cycle, then disconnect your computer and walk away. The DT-X Extreme will continue to ping and log data for up to one month.
Built TOUGH for extended outdoor deployments, with splash-proof construction throughout, the DT-X Extreme comes with stainless connectors on all ports, cables, and connectors.
Unique features include:
-
Autonomous mode with wake/sleep function
- Internal storage for 30-days data logging
-
Built in DGPS, WiFi router, and DC voltmeter
-
Multi-channel, multi-frequency capabilities
-
Digital transducers for superior data quality
-
Extremely low side lobe transducers (~ -30dB)
