Inserting a Station
The operator can insert a station at any time during the measurement. In the station dialog, the
operator will input a station location to be inserted and click Measure. The inserted station will
be sorted and included in the total discharge calculation.
In order to prevent data loss in the event of a power, communications or computer issue during
a measurement, the data file stored on the computer can be reopened to complete the meas-
urement.
Island Edges
If a river is split into multiple channels, any internal island(s) must be accounted for in the
discharge calculation. The stations at each edge of the internal island(s) are treated like the riv-
er edges.
The operator can click the Island Edge box at the bottom of the station dialog window. The
window header will change from Station to Island Start Edge as shown in Figure 126. Enter the
location, depth and other information where appropriate. Click OK (Enter) and the software will
prompt the operator to enter Island End Edge information automatically before continuing to the
next measurement station.
