Envco – Environmental Equipment

Doppler technology has several inherent advantages that make it the preferred method for current measurement. Combining this with SonTek’s proven ability to develop instruments that are both powerful and easy-to-use, the FlowTracker Handheld-ADV is the ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

The FlowTracker is the ideal wading discharge solution if you're looking for:
• Unmatched performance in shallow water and low flows
• Help in challenging outdoor conditions
• Built-in quality checks (SmartQC) so you know your data is right!
• A way to avoid recurring calibration/maintenance
• Tough equipment that doesn't break down all the time
• An easy-to-use interface
• Fewer steps to follow

Software
The FlowTracker Windows-based software package contains utility programs that can be used with SonTek's FlowTracker Handheld ADV. With these programs, you can perform diagnostics, download data from the internal recorder, review data, generate reports, export data as ASCII files, and export data files that are compatible with the FlowPack velocity-indexing software tool.

FlowPack is a great addition to the FlowTracker when you are using it in conjunction with an Argonaut-SL or SW. FlowPack allows you to generate easy-to-interpret Velocity-Index ratings. Promising to make your data reporting process a whole lot friendlier (and faster), FlowPack also provides a simple method to store flow, velocity, and stage measurements -- all through one software program. FlowPack can produce comprehensive reports that assist you in making better, more informed decisions. FlowPack is available as an option to the FlowTracker.
