1 INTRODUCTION
The Operation manual contains information required to operate and field test the DIGIBAR-PRO
Model 1200 hand-held sound velocimeter.
1.1 Instrument Description
DIGIBAR-PRO is a third generation velocimeter employing the sing-around method of sound
velocity determination. Building on more than 15 years of experience in manufacturing
velocimeters used in calibrating echo sounders, this latest version of the DIGIBAR-PRO is
tailored for the advanced applications practiced in the field today. The unit not only samples,
displays, and stores values for the speed of sound in water, but it also ties each collected value to
a precise depth. Built for real world use, the rugged instrument is made up of a hand-held
controller (splash rated to IP-65), a Kevlar reinforced cable (with a 400 lb. breaking strength
rating), and a marine grade stainless steel probe.
