System Overview
RTI is pleased to introduce the HASCP – Horizontal Acoustic Sediment and Current Profiler. The
HASCP operates at a 3 different frequency configuration (600 kHz, 1200 kHz and 2.4 MHz) for sediment
and velocity profiling using Narrow band and Broad band operation developed for the needs of scientists
and engineers. The HASCP system contains the following,
➢
Two horizontal 1200 kHz dual beam inclined transducers are rectangular to provide narrow 2-
way beam width (0.5 degree) (Beams 1 and 3).
➢
The 600 kHz and 2.4 MHz (Beam 2 and 4) will be used to be used for precision measurement of
the acoustic echo sediment characteristics. The 2-way beam width of the 600 kHz and the 2.4
MHz transducer is 1.1 degrees.
➢
An additional vertical beam (1200 kHz) is used for measuring the depth of the instrument from
the water surface (Beam 5).
➢
A modern technology multi-beam and multiple frequency ADCP product platform to provide the
core HASCP capability within a single package.
➢
HASCP programming software for user operation setup, data collection.
