TideMaster has been designed to provide an accurate, versatile and easily deployed tide gauge for use in short or long term survey operations with either pressure or radar sensor measurement. Data display panel, Bluetooth, SD card memory and weather sensor interface provide unrivalled functionality. Low power consumption and user selectable sampling regime allow for up to a year of autonomous operation. A number of Telemetry packages are available to extend the system's capabilities to real time operations. TideMaster is compatible with a wide range of hydrographic software packages and tools.
Please also see the TideStation, a self-contained Tidal Observation solution packaged to optimise performance, be flexible in its configuration and simple to install and maintain.
