Sequoia LISST-ABS X2 Integration Guide

The Sequoia LISST-ABS Acoustic Sediment Sensor is designed specifically for measuring suspended sediment concentrations at a single point. The LISST-ABS is compatible with NexSens X-Series data loggers using the SDI-12 communication protocol and sensor interface. A pre-defined script on X-Series data loggers is able to detect, log, and transmit all parameters from the sensor. Parameter […]
