One piece of software, every RBR instrument. That's Ruskin — and version 2.25.1 is now out.

A few things worth knowing about in this release:

♦️ Auto-deploy is now available on Generation 4 compact instruments — set up once, deploy consistently across a suite of them
♦️ Autonomy estimation has been refined, so deployment planning is sharper
♦️ New firmware support across both Generation 3 and Generation 4 instruments
♦️ Plus a long list of refinements behind the scenes

Ruskin runs every instrument we make. Keeping it up to date is the easiest way to get the most out of yours.

An event called Meet & Weet — Dutch for meet and know — is exactly the kind of gathering RBR doesn't want to miss.

One of our technical sales managers, Valentina Lopera, is heading to the Geometius Meet & Weet Event in Utrecht on Thursday to do precisely that. Meet people. Know what they're working on. Share a few ideas of her own.

Catch her presentation, "Measuring waves and tides: RBR autonomous pressure sensors for coastal monitoring," then find her at the RBR display table for a closer look at our latest instruments, and have a chat about your coastal work. Valentina would love to meet you.

The freshwater science community is gathering in Winnipeg for the International Association for Great Lakes Research and Society of Canadian Aquatic Sciences / Société Canadienne des Sciences Aquatiques Joint Conference next week — and RBR's Sydney Bacon will be there too.

Sydney, one of our North American Technical Sales Managers, will be walking the floor throughout the IAGLR / SCAS-SCSA conference (25–29 May), ready to talk about your research and your area of interest.

Want to lock in a time? Drop us a line at [email protected], and we'll get something on the calendar. Or spot Sydney in RBR red and say hello — Sydney would love to meet you.

Heading to the Underwater Glider User Group (UG2) meeting next week? So is Mat.

RBR's senior research scientist Mathieu Dever will be at UG2, 18–20 May 2026. Catch him at the industry community session, "Community needs and next steps" — a conversation we're keen to be part of — and at his presentation, "Getting the most out of RBR instruments on gliders: best practices for RBRlegato⁴, RBRlegato³, RBRcoda T.ODO and RBRtridente."

Whether you're deploying your first glider or you're an old hand, find Mat and say hello — he's always up for a good ocean conversation.

Houston, we have a solution. 🚀

This week, RBR's Greg Johnson and John Hunt are on the ground at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, and are keen to meet with you and chat all things ocean.

Whether your interest is ports, coastal engineering, hydrography, polar, or oil and gas, RBR has a solution to support your next deployment.

So reach out to Greg and John and discover how RBR innovation can elevate your research. We'd love to connect!

EGU26 is almost here — and we can't wait to reconnect with the oceanographic community in Vienna next week.

RBR will be at Booth #32 from 3–8 May. Come and meet Didier Clech, RBR's Business Manager for Europe, and explore our latest released instruments — including the Generation 4 of our compact loggers.

We will also have an RBRquartz³ BPR|zero, our long-term, low-drift bottom-pressure recorder.

We'll be there to talk science, answer your questions, and find out what challenges you're working on next. That's what these events are really for.

As a bonus: enter our prize draw for a chance to win an RBR stand-up paddle board.

If you're attending, we'd love to see you. Drop by, say hello, and let's talk.

"Time and tide wait for no one… but at 32Hz, we've got the measure of them."

The RBRsolo⁴ and RBRduet⁴ bring compact, lightweight tide and wave measurement to any deployment — with three firmware options to match your research needs:

♦️ Continuous sampling up to 32Hz
♦️ |tide32 — continuous sampling or tidal averaging
♦️ |wave32 — continuous sampling, tidal averaging, or wave burst

Available on any Generation⁴ compact instrument with a pressure sensor.

Add ±0.01% full-scale accuracy, infinite memory, and single or dual AA batteries, and you have a tide and wave solution built for the longest, most demanding deployments.

That's a wrap on a week of highlighting our latest generation compact instruments. Thank you to everyone who followed along and shared what you're working on. We'd love to help — reach out at [email protected]

One instrument. Any parameter.

The RBRsolo⁴ x and RBRduet⁴ D.x let you swap any compatible RBR sensor between deployments — turbidity one season, chlorophyll-a the next, optical dissolved oxygen for another programme entirely.

No second instrument on the shelf. No procurement delays. Just a sensor swap, and you're back in the water.

Need depth on every deployment? The RBRduet⁴ D.x pairs a permanent pressure channel with the flexibility of an exchangeable x-channel.

One compact platform, built to adapt to whatever your research demands.

The ocean doesn't slow down for your instruments. Now it doesn't need to. Introducing the RBRsolo⁴ and RBRduet⁴ — built around four principles.

♦️ Measure more. Seven sensor options in one compact platform — from temperature and pressure to chlorophyll-a, PAR, and optical dissolved oxygen. Your instrument, configured for your science.

♦️ Measure faster. Standard 2Hz sampling with an optional 32Hz, so the dynamics that matter never slip past you.

♦️ Measure longer. Infinite memory and a dual battery option. Leave it in the water. Let it work.

♦️ Measure smarter. Exchangeable sensors mean you can reconfigure in the field and share one instrument across multiple programmes.

Compact by design. Exceptional in performance. Shaped by more than 50 years of understanding what fieldwork actually demands.
