Opening a VEL File
The VEL file type is primarily associated with SBE Data Processing.
What is a VEL file?
VEL files mostly belong to SBE Data Processing. VEL files store sound velocity profile data. They are used by instruments in oceanography, particularly by systems from Sea-Bird Electronics SBE Data Processing.
They record measurements of sound speed in water at various depths. They help calibrate and adjust readings from sonar and other acoustic devices. The format is internal and may include extra sensor and calibration metadata. For more details, visit the official page at Sea-Bird Electronics.
FilExt.com tip: To open and view a VEL file, use the specialized processing software provided by the vendor. This ensures correct interpretation and processing of the sound velocity data.
