Your instrument for the changing ocean

The Workhorse Proteus from Teledyne RD Instruments collects current and wave data, measurements of flow, transport, and discharge, in oceans, estuaries, and rivers. Proteus is the evolution of Teledyne RD Instruments’ original Workhorse ADCP, which revolutionized physical oceanography, ocean engineering, and river hydrology with its acoustic Doppler technique. Proteus can unlock a new understanding of waves, turbulence, and the changing currents below the surface. Its technical advantages deliver the most data possible with a single instrument, helping you analyse and act with ease and confidence, knowing you have gathered the best possible information about the environment.

Proteus Unique Features and Benefits

• ​​​Proteus Advanced Doppler Sonar Platform (ADSP): The newest, most advanced Doppler processing platform. Enables smaller form factor. Capability for more sophisticated pinging and sampling schemes to achieve precise research goals.
• ​Catalyst Proce​​ssor: Fast processing. Easy to integrate and communicate with your electronics platform. Reliable data logging. Future potential for adding capability to the ADCP. Apps that could deliver critical real-time data.​
• New RDI AHRS and Dynamic Bin Mapping: Better orientation compensation leading to more accurate data and more conclusive scientific results.​
• ​Five Beams for direct measurement of ocean’s vertical velocity: Vertical profiling with high-precision velocities and high-resolution echo for sediment, biological, and wave measurement applications under wide- ranging conditions. Expands your research and collaboration capabilities.
