WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual
".000" file extension indicates that this is the first file in the deployment sequence. A
".001" extension will be used if the deployment spills over onto the second PCMCIA card
in the recorder. Each PCMCIA card is set up as a separate DOS disk drive with its own
DOS file structure. Deployments that are recorded completely on a single PCMCIA device
will only have the ".000" file extension.
RR – Show Recorder File Directory
Purpose Lists the files on the recorder in the style of a DOS directory listing.

Recommended Setting. Use as needed.
Description RR lists the files stored on the recorder in the form of a DOS directory listing. Each

This shows the H-ADCP contains a 10-MB recorder.
RY – Upload Recorder Files
Purpose Uploads recorder data to a host computer using standard YMODEM protocol.
Format RY
Recommended Setting. Use as needed.
Description RY uploads the entire contents of the recorder via the serial interface to a host computer
using the standard YMODEM protocol for binary file transfer. Any communications pro-
gram that uses the YMODEM protocol may be used to upload the recorder data. The data
is transferred to the host and stored as binary files. This command may be used to recover
deployment data without opening the pressure case of the H-ADCP unit.
Alternatively, the PCMCIA recorder cards may be removed from the unit and placed into
a PCMCIA slot in any MS-DOS based computer so equipped. The data files may then be
accessed in the same manner as from any other disk drive.
Do not use Windows® to erase the files on the PCMCIA card. Windows® sometimes creates
hidden files, which will cause issues for the H-ADCP at the next deployment. Place the PCMCIA
card in the H-ADCP and use the RE command to erase the card.
