| | Uses computer for data capture and storage
| | Direct graphing of sediment stratification

General
The SediSond is an electronic gravitation sond. It is allowed to fall freely into the bottom. A sophisticated computer program analyses and presents the data from the measurement in near real time. Thus, it is a matter of seconds rather than minutes to measure the sediment thickness at a location.

Deployment
The length of the sond can be increased by adding one-metre extensions to the desired length, which should be more than the maximum sediment thickness. The sond is lowered to the bottom in a controlled manner, then raised about 5 metres, and allowed to fall free down into the bottom at the same time as starting the logger.

Output
The software will calculate and present a vertical profile of the sediment hardness, that is, how much and where the SediSond gets slowed down on its way through the sediments. In a typical reservoir sediment, the difference between the reservoir sediments, and the underlaying material, is expected to be more than enough to be clearly distinguishable. The user can then directly get a value of sediment thickness, and move on to the next point. The recorded data can of course also be stored for later analysis, if required.
