The Swoffer 3000 is a hand held computer and data logger designed specifically for the measurement of open channel velocities and the on-site computation of stream discharges (flow).

The Swoffer 3000 features a wading rod (up to 12 feet in length) with adjustable propeller sensor, allowing readings to be taken from streams of varying depths. Up to 1000 "stations", each with 100 cross sections may be stored in memory for later retrieval via connection to a PC. This eliminates the need to hand-write data while gaging a stream.

Other features:

• The Swoffer 3000 indicator displays data in feet and meters per second.
• Efficient Photo-Fiber-Optic sensor coupled with precision quartz crystal controlled electronics provide accurate repeatable data in most flow conditions.
• Velocity averaging is fully user adjustable. Anything from 1 to 999 seconds of averaging can be chosen.
• Velocities can be a single averaged measurement or can be the accumulated average of as many measurements as desired, all controlled from the keypad.
• All discharge data in the Swoffer 3000 can be transferred to a Personal Computer via RS232 for further processing. Simple ASCII file transfer software and a DB9 serial connection cable is provided.
