icListen Smart Hydrophones
The concept of the
icListen
Smart Hydrophone has been in development since 2005. Smart
Hydrophones take the work out of gathering acoustic data in the ocean. They supply data in real units,
processing it as needed before it is stored or sent to the operator.
These hydrophones are ideal for a range of passive acoustic applications, such as:
•
Environmental assessments of underwater acoustic noise
•
Monitoring for marine life, including sea mammals and spawning fish
•
Laboratory reference hydrophone
•
Locating sound sources, such as malfunctioning equipment, or flight data recorders
•
Locating leaks in underwater pipes, and identifying machine noises
Users communicate with
icListen
through a PC program called
Lucy
, or using the web interface.
Lucy
allows users to view instrument data in real-time, retrieve and play stored data, and perform
housekeeping functions, such as checking the status & configuration. Ethernet
icListen
models contain a
web interface which can be used for device configuration and for viewing real-time spectral data.
We hope you enjoy your experience with
icListen AF
