Instrument Information

Identifier: SBE 56
Instrument / Gear: Instrument
Instrument Type: Temperature Sensor
Description:

A low-cost, high-accuracy, fast-sampling temperature recorder with USB interface, internal battery (up to 2 years), and memory. Temperature and time sampling options, at user-programmable 0.5-sec to 9-hour intervals. Data are uploaded upon recovery via the internal USB connector, and output in engineering units (degrees C, date and time). The high stability preserves the initial calibration accuracy, requiring less frequent (or no) calibrations. Ideal for underwater recording applications.
