The AutoSwim software for Windows 11 enables computerized and automated water velocity control in Loligo® swim tunnels. Applications include:
- Swimming performance tests (Ucrit)
- Forced-exercise protocols
- Biomechanics/Kinematics
- Swimming Behavior
The AutoSwim software is included in our Core Swimming Performance Systems.
MULTI-CHANNEL = HIGH THROUGHPUT
Manage many Loligo® swim tunnels simultaneously ensuring cohesive and synchronous operations across different setups.
SEAMLESS WIRELESS INTEGRATION
Use the Bluetooth controlled DAQ-BT motor controller ensuring effortless control of your swim tunnel from a distance to avoid disturbing your specimens.
AUTOMATED USER-DEFINED PROTOCOLS
Customize protocols based on specific testing requirements to meet your unique research needs. Or input and adjust the water velocity setpoint in cm or body lengths per second for manual control.
INTEGRATED CALIBRATION
Easy calibration of swimming speeds for our Blazka-type swim tunnels (170 ml & 1500 ml) directly inside AutoSwim with the included flow tracking velocimetry (DPTV) functionality. A streamlined interface enables easy calibration of larger swim tunnels as well.
EASY DATA EXPORT
Raw and corrected water velocities are saved as time-stamped values in an Excel file for a uniform workflow integration.
SOLID BLOCKING CORRECTION
AutoSwim features solid blocking correction capabilities to enable corrected swimming speeds in cm/sec and BL/sec ensuring that your measurements are always precise and reliable.
OXYGEN CONSUMPTION EXCLUSION
AutoSwim is purpose-built for Loligo® swim tunnel applications without the requirement for oxygen consumption measurements. If you need to include respirometry data in your swim trials, consider the AutoResp™ v3 software instead.
