The RBRduet4 T.D is built for long, accurate field use with low effort. Delivering high accuracy in a compact, field-ready form factor, it combines lab-grade performance with deployment simplicity. USB-C enables fast configuration and data download, while support for standard AA battery chemistry provides global power options.
Paired with Ruskin software for intuitive setup and retrieval, the RBRduet4 T.D is designed for exceptionally long deployments, using RBR’s latest ultra-low-power electronics to maximize endurance without compromising precision. Data are stored in RSK format and are accessible using RBR’s open Python and MATLAB toolboxes, enabling direct integration into workflows and automated processing pipelines. Ruskin provides Excel exports and publication-ready charts in PNG and PDF formats, ensuring straightforward reporting, analysis, and archiving.
Engineered for durability in harsh marine conditions, theRBRduet4 T.D delivers reliable, long-term performance across a wide range of oceanographic applications.
