1.2. ADVField/Hydra DOS Software
The following DOS programs/files are included on the ADVField/Hydra software distribution
disk (CD-ROM). These programs are mostly self-explanatory. To learn about program use, enter
the name at the DOS prompt. If the program requires command line parameters, a help screen
will show the required inputs and their format.
•
ADF.EXE - Real-time data acquisition program (Section 2).
•
ADFSX.EXE – Same as ADF , but for computers without a math co-processor (Section 2).
•
GETCTL.EXE - Data conversion program for files from the real-time data acquisition software
to convert file header information to ASCII format (Section 3).
•
GETAMP.EXE - Data conversion program for files from the real-time data acquisition software
to convert signal amplitude data to ASCII format (Section 3).
•
GETCOR.EXE - Data conversion program for files from the real-time data acquisition software
to convert correlation data to ASCII format (Section 3).
•
GETHPR.EXE - Data conversion program for files from the real-time data acquisition software
to convert heading, pitch, and roll data to ASCII format.
•
GETSEN.EXE - Data conversion program for files from the real-time data acquisition software
to convert sensor data (compass/tilt, temperature, and pressure) to ASCII format (Section 3).
•
GETSNR.EXE - Data conversion program for files from the real-time data acquisition software
to convert signal to noise ratio (SNR) data to ASCII format (Section 3).
•
GETVEL.EXE - Data conversion program for files from the real-time data acquisition software
to convert velocity data to ASCII format (Section 3).
•
ADFCHECK.EXE - Diagnostic program to test system performance (Section 4).
•
ADFCALAO.EXE - Calibration program for analog output voltages (Section 5).

For ADVField systems with the optional internal recorder for autonomous deployments, the sys-
tem includes a second diskette with software for autonomous deployment. This diskette includes
the following files.
•
SONREC.EXE - Data extraction program for the ADVField internal recorder (Section 8).
•
GADVCTL.EXE - Data conversion program for autonomous data files to convert file header in-
formation to ASCII format (Section 9).

and statistics data to ASCII format (Section 9).
•
GADVLIST.EXE - Data conversion program for autonomous data files to convert LISST sensor
data to ASCII format.
•
GADVTS.EXE - Data conversion program for autonomous data files to convert time series data,
including velocity and data quality parameters, to ASCII format (Section 9).
•
GTDRUCK.EXE - Program used to get (download) the Druck/ParosFreq pressure sensor calibra-
tion file from the ADVField’s processor to the local computer.
•
LDDRUCK.EXE - Program used to load the Druck/ParosFreq pressure sensor calibration file
into the ADVField’s processor.
•
COMPCAL.EXE - Calibration program for optional compass/tilt sensor (Section 6).
•
SONTERM.EXE - Terminal emulator for accessing the direct command interface (Section 7).
