Wd - Data Out; We - Error Velocity Threshold - Teledyne WORKHORSE Operation Manual

WorkHorse H-ADCP Operation Manual
WD – Data Out
Purpose Selects the data types collected by the H-ADCP.
WD abc def ghi
Format
Range Firmware switches (see description)
Default WD 111 100 000
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description WD uses firmware switches to tell the H-ADCP the types of data to collect. The H-ADCP
always collects header data, fixed and variable leader data, and checksum data. Setting a
bit to one tells the H-ADCP to collect that data type. The bits are described as follows:
Example WD 111 100 000 (default) tells the H-ADCP to collect velocity, correlation magnitude,
echo intensity, and percent-good.
1. Each bit can have a value of one or zero. Setting a bit to one means output data, zero means
suppress data.
2. If WP = zero, the H-ADCP does not collect water-profile data.
3. Spaces in the command line are allowed.
4. Status data is not used, as it does not mean anything.

WE - Error Velocity Threshold

Purpose Sets the maximum error velocity for good water-current data.
Format WEnnnn
Range nnnn = 0 to 9999 mm/s
Default WE1500
The default setting is set purposely high. We recommend extreme caution and testing before
changing this setting. Data rejected by this command is lost and cannot be regained.
Description The WE-command sets a threshold value used to flag water-current data as good or bad.
If the H-ADCP's error velocity value exceeds this threshold, it flags data as bad for a given
depth cell. WE screens for error velocities in both beam and transformed-coordinate data.
Setting the WE command to zero (WE0) disables error velocity screening.
a = Velocity d = Percent good
