Abstract
Technologies are provided for underwater measurements. A system includes an underwater vessels including: a plurality of sensors disposed thereon for measuring underwater properties; and a programmable controller configured to selectively activate the plurality of sensors based at least in part on underwater pressure. A user may program at what pressure ranges certain sensors are activated to measure selected properties, and may also program the ascent/descent rate of the underwater vessel, which is correlated with the underwater pressure.

10. A method for measuring underwater properties, comprising:
-
measuring, by a pressure sensor, a current pressure; comparing, by one or more computers, the current pressure to pressure threshold limits for a plurality of respective pressure ranges, wherein each of the respective pressure ranges is associated with a respective set of one or more of the sensors, and activating and/or sampling, by the one or more computers, a respective one of the sets of one or more of the sensors when the current pressure range is within the pressure range associated with the respective one set of sensors. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for measuring underwater properties, comprising:
-
measuring, by a pressure sensor, a current pressure; comparing, by one or more computers, the current pressure to pressure threshold limits for a plurality of respective pressure ranges, wherein each of the respective pressure ranges is associated with a respective set of one or more of the sensors; comparing, by one or more computers, a current time and/or date to a plurality of sets of date and/or time ranges, wherein the respective sets of the one or more sensors are associated with respective time and/or date ranges, and activating and/or sampling, by one or more computers, a respective one of the sets of one or more of the sensors when the current pressure range is within the pressure range associated with the respective one set of sensors and a current time and/or date is within the time and/or date range associated with the respective one set of sensors.
