11.4 Deploy and Recover the ADCP
Figure 17. Deploy and Recover the ADCP
Things to remember while deploying the ADCP.
• Data files are *.SCL (deployment log file) and *000.000
(raw data). For example, if your deployment file is named
Test.dpl, then the deployment log file will be Test.scl and the
raw data file will be Test000.000.
• Tilts. The WorkHorse corrects data for tilts as large as 15°,
but tilts reduce the effective range and increase the depth of
surface contamination.
• Anti-fouling paint. You are free to use anti-fouling paint or
other anti-fouling material over any surface of the Work-
Horse. However, you should consider the following:
1. Ensure that your coating can be used safely on plastic in
general and polyurethane specifically.
2. Apply it thinly and evenly to the transducer faces.
3. Poorly applied coatings on the transducer could adversely
affect instrument performance.
• Magnetic material. Keep the WorkHorse’s compass away
from magnetic material when you deploy the instrument.
Check for magnetic fields by smoothly moving a compass
around and near the WorkHorse and its mounting frame.
