The RBRvirtuosoยณ D and RBRduoยณ T.D, |tide and |wave, offer high accuracy and flexible schedules. By taking averages of pressure readings over extended periods of time, they provide accurate tide level data. Intermittent and continuous wave bursts allow for obtaining wave characteristics (wave energy, H1/3, T1/3, Tave and Have) and detecting infrequent phenomena, like boat wakes.

Optional Configurations

RBRvirtuosoยณ D | tide 16 pressure, tidal averaging
RBRduoยณ T.D | tide16 pressure, tidal averaging, intermittent and continuous wave burst
RBRvirtuosoยณ D | wave16 temperature and pressure, tidal averaging
RBRduoยณ T.D | wave16 temperature and pressure, tidal averaging, intermittent and continuous wave burst
