2 WorkHorse Sentinel ADCP Applications
The WorkHorse Sentinel ADCP is designed so that it can be used as a fully
self-contained system. This means that it contains its own battery for power
and internal recorder for the storage of all data that you have set it up to col-
lect. Using the internal battery and recorder, the WorkHorse Sentinel can
be used for several-month autonomous current profile deployments from
temporary or permanent mountings in the ocean, near-shore, harbors, and
lakes.
WinSC is the software package for self-contained ADCP setup, data collec-
tion, and data review. For detailed information on how to use WinSC, see
the WinSC User's Guide. Plan (part of WinSC) lets you enter known or
“best-guess” values for the various ADCP profiling parameters and shows
predictions of expected results. For detailed information on how to use
Plan, see the WinSC User's Guide.
