Teledyne RD Instruments, a developer of acoustic Doppler current profiling and navigation innovations, announced two updates to its Sentinel V ADCP. These enhancements include a complete update to the firmware and the user software interface program, ReadyV, and an update to the post-processing Velocity software package.

 

These two releases provide for added flexibility in the setup of the instrument, including two completely independent ping profiles, an improved web interface and new post-processing software package for its Sentinel V and Workhorse acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). These updates provide users with improved currents and waves data collection, as well as post-processing capabilities.

 

The firmware upgrades allow users to now use any web browser on their computer, laptop, tablet or phone – allowing for easier and faster data setup and testing from any device. The software upgrades include a fully integrated version of waves processing from the company’s popular WavesMon software program, providing an advanced waves processing package that capitalizes on the full capabilities of the five-beam Sentinel V. The upgrade provides new tools that help users perform rapid reviews of large PD0 data files collected by units that support the data format. Additionally, customers now have the capability to migrate to a single electronic activation – now three user licenses – eliminating the requirement for using dongles.

 

Current customers may obtain upgrades by emailing their Sentinel V serial number and a copy of their Velocity dongle license number to Teledyne RDI’s field service department at [email protected]. Further instructions will then be provided via email.
