AML-3, The RTS - (Real-Time Streaming) Version
This entry-level version of the AML-3 is commonly deployed on buoys and underwater observatories, as well as on ROVS and AUVs. The AML-3 RTS is designed for real-time data streaming and has neither battery nor memory. A bulkhead connector brings power to the instrument and streams data back to the user.

AML-3, The LGR - (Logger) Version
The industry standard for high-accuracy profiling, the LGR is predominantly used for water column work. This version of the AML-3 comes with a Lithium-ion battery and onboard memory. Data transfer is effected via WiFi or USB connectivity. To maximize reliability, instrument on / off is managed with a magnetic switch rather than a bulkhead connector.

AML-3, The XC - (Dual Capability) Version
The premium version of the AML-3 includes both data logging and real-time streaming features. This dual capability version of the instrument is valuable to those who value proper redundancy of data logging and/or redundancy of power supply. Ideally, this version of AML-3 is useful for those with requirements that vary mission by mission.

Frequently Asked Questions
The AML-3 is a versatile multiparameter instrument designed for diverse data collection needs. The AML-3 features three sensor ports on the endcap, allowing modular sensor swapping to tailor to various project requirements. Certain sensors, such as CT and SVT, offer dual-parameter measurements. The AML-3 also calculates salinity and density.
AML-3 LGR is the industry standard for high-accuracy profiling, equipped with a Lithium Ion battery and onboard memory. It excels in water column studies and offers data transfer through WiFi or USB. On the other hand, AML-3 RTS is designed for real-time applications and is externally powered for continuous data streaming. It's commonly deployed on buoys, observatories, ROVs, and AUVs.
AML-3's are highly customizable, accommodating a range of user-specific sensors. Feel free to reach out to us for inquiries about specific sensor combinations.
AML-3 LGR features a magnetic switch adjacent to the shackle for easy on/off control. This mechanism enhances instrument reliability.
Certainly, especially the AML-3 LGR & the XC. These instruments are designed to internally log sensor measurements, allowing for post-deployment data transfer and analysis.
Communication varies based on the version. For the 500m version, communication primarily occurs through WiFi (500 m), as AML-3 LGR sets up a WiFi hotspot for data transfer. For the 6000m version, communication is facilitated via the USB-C connector, serving both power and data transfer purposes.
