Comparing Sentinel V Pd0 To Workhorse Pd0; Figure 100. Workhorse Adcp Pd0 Standard Output Data Buffer Format - Teledyne RD Instruments SENTINEL V SELF-CONTAINED Operation Manual

Comparing Sentinel V PD0 to Work-
Horse PD0
The WorkHorse PD0 (pd zero, not the letter o) data (Figure 100, page 246) is not exactly the same as the
Sentinel V PD0 output data (Figure 101, page 247);
•
The WorkHorse ADCP and Sentinel V Real-Time uses a command file to configure the ADCP us-
ing a two-character command. For example, the WS command is used to set the water profile cell
size in WorkHorse ADCPs. The Sentinel V Self-Contained ADCPs use ReadyV to configure the
ADCP. There are no equivalent commands between WorkHorse/Sentinel V RT and Sentinel V SC
ADCPs.
•
The Sentinel V ADCPs have additional data formats to include the vertical beam data and fea-
tures.
•
The Sentinel V ADCPs PD0 output is always in binary format.
• The Sentinel V ADCPs PD0 output can be read by TRDI's WinADCP and Velocity software only.
