1- I thought I’d share with you my field test of the G2Plus. We went out into the Port of Brisbane on a small Tinny boat with a laptop, NICO, OPUS, cable and the G2Plus. We installed the G2PLUS back at shore where we had internet to make sure the drivers were ok. It connected first time, almost instantly. We were able to sample for around 3.5 hours without the connection dropping once. The convenience of powering the sensors from a laptop is a real game changer. Field toughness and remote sampling is not what TriOS is known for but the experience felt almost identical to using a YSI EXO® with Kor EXO®. Very impressive and bolds well for the future!
