VEMCO Introduces the VR2W Receiver and VUE PC Software

Provides Significantly Faster Data Upload Using Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
Designed using the same proven and reliable technology you've come to know and trust in the VR2, the new VR2W is affordable, compact, easy to use, long-lasting and flexible. It is the ideal receiver for marine research projects ranging from small river monitoring to multi-researcher, multi-tracking operations in large oceanic systems. Now with the new VR2W, VEMCO has taken the VR2 and made it even better.

  • Significantly faster upload speed using Bluetooth® wireless technology - after retrieving your VR2Ws, you can upload data 20 times faster than the VR2 and from up to 7 receivers simultaneously
  • Increased data storage capability - 8 MBytes (1-million detections), 4 times that of the VR2
  • Field upgradable design allows the VR2W unit to be upgraded in the field with future coding scheme enhancements
  • Safer, more robust data storage capability - the VR2W always retains every detection in non-volatile memory so all data is saved even if the unit unexpectedly fails
  • Fully compatible with all existing VR2 receivers

Researchers can also have their existing VR2 receivers upgraded through a limited time, special offer from VEMCO. Contact us today for details!

The VR2W Uses Greatly Enhanced PC Software to Provide a Single Software Application for all VEMCO Receivers¹
The new VEMCO User Environment (VUE) PC Software for initialization, configuration and data upload from VEMCO receivers allows users to combine data from multiple receivers of varying types into a single integrated database. The VR2W Comm Package includes everything you need to talk to your VR2W:

  • Adapter for USB to Bluetooth® wireless technology

VUE will work with both VR2W and VR2 receivers and requires Windows XP SP2 operating system. For more information on VUE, please download the VUE Datasheet.
