X2•Series Instruments can help you avoid...
Calibrated spare sensors can be swapped back onto the instrument while the old ones go back for recalibration.

A survey manager at an independent survey company that specializes in coastal surveys along the eastern seaboard of the U.S.
Story
In early 2018, the company won a contract that put them in a situation of conducting two surveys back to back. With the survey for a previously booked contract already scheduled to begin on a certain date, it was critical that the first project be completed on time. Any delays would jeopardize the second project, activating financial penalties and damaging the company’s reputation. Given the high sound speed variability expected in the first project’s survey area, the survey manager was concerned that the frequency with which they would need to stop the vessel to obtain sound velocity profiles would threaten punctual completion.
The survey manager knew he needed a way to collect SV data without ever stopping the vessel in order to finish the survey within the 30 day window and to the specifications stipulated in the contract. In anticipation of this, he tried an entry level system, but found it completely inadequate. He then approached AML. We provided MVP30, a real-time underway profiling system designed for the rigors of commercial survey work.
Results
The first survey was completed with room to spare, and the second began on time. Both customers were impressed not only by the timely delivery of their products, but the noticeably higher quality, which the survey manager attributed to the continuous, real-time feed of sound velocity data into the multibeam system.
Uncomplicated profiler that doesn't consume more operator time or require significant training to use.

The X2•Series is a highly configurable family of multiparameter sondes designed for a wide range of data collection applications. With exchangeable technology you can use one instrument for a variety of applications and depth ranges.
X2change™ is the industry’s leading family of field-swappable sensor heads. Each sensor head contains its own embedded calibration and can be moved from instrument to instrument without impacting accuracy. Changing sensors is easy: simply unscrew one sensor head and replace it with another.
X2•Series instrumentation reduces complexity while maintaining the premium performance.
X2change TM Sensors
If one sensor is inaccessible, spares are easily exchangeable, allowing operations to keep going.
Less user training time for fewer instruments.
Automatic WiFi data transfer for shallow instruments.
Instruments can be used for more than one application.
Lower logistical costs by shipping small sensor heads instead of larger, heavier instruments.
X2•Series allows for cost effective upgrades and/or configuration changes at anytime.
Suitable for any Situation
X2•Series instruments are backed by AML Oceanographic’s industry leading service and support. They are proven to support minimum complexity and maximum return. AML Instruments are commonly used in the following applications:
X•Series instrumentation's ability to deliver reliable and accurate data in extreme environments is critical for Ocean Networks Canada as they seek to reduce the cost and complexity of arctic monitoring sites.
