Getting Started with the ADVField/Hydra System
Thank you for purchasing a SonTek/YSI Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). We are confi-
dent you will find it powerful, accurate, reliable, and easy to use. If you have questions, com-
ments, or suggestions, please let us know.
Please Note: The documentation in this binder applies primarily to our ADV “Field” and “Hy-
dra” units (used primarily in outdoor applications) and not to our ADV “Lab” units (used primar-
ily in laboratory experiments).

background for using the instrument and analyzing data.
