LATEST PRODUCTS

RadSoft 1.00 | HydroDAS | MiniDAS | HydroPack | HydroScat-4 | HydroSoft 2.6

The first official release of the long-awaited Windows-based user interface for the HydroRad and SurfoRad, RadSoft, is now available for download!
The HydroDAS is a multi-instrument submersible data acquisition system with versatile input and output options for collecting digital and analog data from a wide variety of instruments. Ideal for either autonomous logging or real-time data integration.
The MiniDAS is our lower cost version of the HydroDAS.  It too is a submersible data acquisition system with versatile input and output options for collecting digital and analog data from a wide variety of instruments. Ideal for either autonomous logging or real-time data integration.
The HydroPack is a submersible battery pack for oceanographic applications. The HydroPack holds 20 D cells that are quickly and easily replaced.  With alkaline D cells, the HydroPack supplies 12 volts nominal (15 volts peak) for up to 36 amp-hours, making it the most cost effective submersible battery pack, per amp-hour, available anywhere.
The newest model in our line of spectral backscattering sensors, the HydroScat-4 measures backscattering at 4 wavelengths of your choice. One or more of the backscattering channels can be designated to measure stimulated fluorescence at specified excitation and emission wavelengths.  Like HOBI's other backscattering sensors, the HS-4 offers sensitivity and dynamic range that are available nowhere else.  The version show at right, called the HS-4S, includes an integrated copper shutter for antifouling on long-term mooring applications.
Our highly acclaimed Windows software application, HydroSoft, provides the user interface with our entire line of instruments except the HydroRad.  HydroSoft 2.52 provides additional data graphing, processing and interactive capabilities, including a built-in step-by-step calibration procedure for our backscattering instruments (requires calibration fixture).
