Like all other ultrasonic Doppler velocimeters manufactured by Signal Processing SA, the new DOP3000 uses pulsed ultrasonic echo technique to measure velocity profiles. This new product has been designed in order to fit user's request in terms of specifications and ease of use.
A modular instrument: Budget base + upgrades (software packages)...
Starting with a basic affordable instrument, it can evolve to become a powerful equipment capable of measuring in real time high resolution velocity profiles at a rate of just a few ms. Upgrades can be done simply by the user, step by step, by adding optional software packages.
A USB instrument: Plug and play, small and lightweight device...
Unlike the DOP2000, the new DOP3000 has no embedded computer. An external PC desktop or laptop controls the instrument through its built-in USB interface. This flexible solution allows to use the DOP3000 in all kinds of situations.
An easy-to-use instrument: Operating parameters automatically computed...
Based on very
simple indications given by the user, such as the depth of measure along the
ultrasonic beam and the maximum velocity to be measured, the brand new software
delivered with the DOP3000 automatically computes most operating parameters
(TGC, PRF, scale factors, number of emissions per profile). Tedious manual setting
can therefore be avoided. Of course, advanced users can still fine-tune all
these parameters or bypass this automatic mode.
The DOP3000 also lets the user set a quality factor of the measure, which defines an optimal tradeoff between spatial resolution, signal to noise ratio and sampling rate.
