Setup the WorkHorse Mariner ADCP

Figure 9 illustrates how to connect the WorkHorse Mariner cables on your
workbench. You will need a container of water large enough to submerge
the WorkHorse's transducer head into during testing (two to three inches of
water is sufficient). Testing the WorkHorse out of water may cause some
tests to fail but causes no harm to the WorkHorse.
