The WorkHorse Sentinel ADCP is also able to be used in real time applica-
tions that either take advantage of the internal battery power, or external
battery power, and can be used to collect data internally as well as exter-
nally. When considering real time applications, RDI offers you choices in
software packages that are intended to directly meet your needs. VmDas is
the most often used software package for ADCP setup, real-time data col-
lection, and data review. For detailed information on how to use VmDas,
