The WorkHorse Mariner ADCP can also be used in other moving vessel real
time applications that take advantage of the Mariner’s bottom tracking abili-
ties. WinRiver is the most often used software package for Mariner ADCP
setup, river discharge data collection, and data review. RDI also offers the
VmDas program for ADCP setup, real-time data collection, and data review.
For detailed information on how to use VmDas, see the VmDas User’s
Guide.
