Features

• User-friendly software for automated water velocity measurements
• Auto calibration function with software controls of swim tunnel motor and real-time video tracking of fluorescent spheres
• 2D video tracking of green laser illuminated fluorescent spheres with neutral buoyancy
• Export calibration file to use directly in our swim tunnel software
• Built-in video recording mode

DPTV 2 is fast and intuitive video tracking software for non-invasive measurements of water velocity in rectilinear flows. DPTV 2 is the ideal tool for water velocity calibrations in 170 mL and 1500 mL Loligo^® swim tunnels and other Blazka-type swim tunnels with limited access or space for flow probes. The software is also part of our flow tracking system.

The velocity measurements are based on 2D video tracking of green laser illuminated fluorescent spheres with neutral buoyancy. DPTV 2 will automatically calculate average flow velocities and direction from video images, and provide a calibration file that can be used directly in our different swim tunnel software. You can also perform a manual velocity calibration using recorded video files from your own camera or from a camera system from us.

Please note that you will need a DAQ-BT device and one of our cameras to fully automate the calibration procedure in DPTV 2, and for real-time flow measurements.

There is a free DPTV 2 demo available.

Bright fluorescent green microspheres (dia. 180-212 µm) specifically designed with density 1.00 g/cc for neutral buoyancy in freshwater, enabling flow visualization and analysis of fluid motion in swim tunnels, flumes, flow tanks etc. The spheres exhibit a strong fluorescent response and are color stable in solution.

Green 350 mW laser with SMA connector for connecting a fiber optic cable used in our DPTV (Digital Particle Tracking Velocimetry) system. The laser pointer comes with a rechargeable battery and charger. The laser is powerful enough to light matches and is for professional use only. Leave it on for max 30 seconds at a time, and then allow min 30 seconds to cool down. Use protective glasses at all times. This is not a toy and it is MUCH more powerful than a laser pointer used for presentations.

Features

• Compact USB 3.1 camera
• 5 MP CMOS sensor
• USB Type-C connector
• For use with IR lighting

This high value for money, compact, and industrial German C-mount camera with SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps is equipped with the versatile 1/2.5" 5.04 MP CMOS sensor ON Semiconductor and USB Type-C connector. It is ideally suited for microscopy and lab applications requiring high image resolution, and for applications with poor or changing lighting conditions. The camera comes without IR filter making it ideal for use with our IR lighting panels for applications requiring back illumination, e.g., shuttle tanks.

Use this camera with our free Video Recorder software to record and edit videos.

Included with the camera:

• USB cable (3 m)
• Tripod adapter plate with 6.3 mm (¼") camera thread
• Wall bracket mount with 6.3 mm (¼") camera thread

FEATURES
