Once, installed, you will have a shortcut added to your Windows Start menu.
The Winadcp shortcut will start WinADCP.
NOTE. The default directory for WinADCP installation is C:\program
files\RD Instruments\Winadcp.

Using WinADCP
WinADCP is a software package for use with RDI Acoustic Doppler Current
Profilers. This software package supports both the Narrowband and the Broadband/Workhorse Binary Output Data Formats.
In general, WinADCP gives the user a visual sense of the entire set of data. It
also allows the user to zoom in on a portion of the data for closer analysis.

2.1

Opening Data Files

You can open BroadBand, NarrowBand, or WorkHorse raw binary data files.
Binary data files that have segmented consecutive file names (i.e.
DEMO001r.000, DEMO001r.001, DEMO001r.002) will be read in as one file if
MultiFile is enabled on the File menu.
a. On the File menu, check that MultiFile is checked. Click Open.
b. Select the data file to be opened.
c. Click Open.

2.2

Whole Set
WinADCP has two main graphic display forms. The form located in the upper
right portion of the screen is called the Whole Set. The form located across the
bottom half of the display is called the Sub Set. Each of these forms displays a
portion of the entire data set as a color contour. In addition to the color contour,
Sub Set displays the user selected Profile, Series, and Ancillary data.

page 2

RD Instruments

WinADCP User's Guide

The Whole Set form is displayed in the upper right-hand portion of WinADCP.
When a file containing a Binary Output Data Format is opened, the entire set of
the selected data type is displayed as a color contour located within the Whole
Set form.

2.3

Figure 1.

Whole Set

Figure 2.

Sub Set

Selected Set
By holding down the Spacebar and then pressing the Left mouse button, the
user can drag the mouse to select a portion of the entire data set. When the
mouse button is released, the selected portion of the Whole Set is marked by a
blinking box outline. The blinking box outlines a set of data called the Selected
Set. A second blinking box is also created when the mouse is released. This
second box is striped or solid depending on your graphics card. The solid blinking box marks a region of data called the Sub Set. The width of the Sub Set
box may not be as wide as the Selected Set box. The width of the Sub Set is
dependent upon the Options, Ensembles setting selected from the main menu.

WinADCP User's Guide

Figure 1, page 3 shows an example of the Whole Set contour display. The Sub
Set contour display is identical except it does not show the Selected and Sub
Set ensemble numbers (located in the upper right corner of the chart).

Figure 3.

2.4

Selected Set

Profile Chart
The Profile chart, located on the left side of the Sub Set form, displays a user
selected ensemble in several two dimensional (2D) charts. Each of these sub
charts contains a different data type taken from the ensemble. The user can
select the profile ensemble by double clicking the left mouse button just above
or just below the Sub Set color contour.
NOTE. Use the left and right keyboard arrows to scroll through the
ensembles. Use the Animate menu to automatically scroll through the
data file. To quickly select an ensemble, double-click a point just above or
below the Sub Set color contour plot.

Series Chart
The Series and Ancillary chart, located in the lower left-hand portion of Sub
Set, displays user selected bins of user selected data types. In addition, the user
may select any of the ancillary data types for display in this chart.
The candle chart shows the statistical information about the series chart. Use
the Options, Chart Options menu to select the Averaging Interval. The candle chart will be centered on the averaging interval.
The red line is the mean
The middle rectangle shape is the Standard Deviation
The long line shows the minimum and maximum values
NOTE. Double-click the candle chart to display the Series Trend and
Residuals chart.
NOTE. Use the up and down keyboard arrows to scroll through the bins.
Use the Animate menu to automatically scroll through the data file. To
quickly select multiple bins, double-click a point just to the left or right of
the color contour plot on the Sub Set color contour plot. Double clicking
the same point will unselect the bin.

Track Vector Time Series

The Track Vector Time Series window displays two current vectors: one along
a selected track and the other orthogonal to it (90 degrees). The user can select
three different tracks: Navigation, Bottom, and Projected. Navigation and
Bottom use actual data contained within the ADCP ensemble. The Projected
angle is input by the user.
An application where this display is useful is in cable laying. Ocean currents
across the path of a ship tend to pull a cable off to the side. Information about
current magnitude and direction relative to the ship track helps to guide the ship
for better cable placement.

Figure 7.

Track Vector Time Series

The Track Vector Time Series window has its own menu.
Exits the Track Vector Time Series window. To display the window
again, click Window, Track Vector.

Exit

Choose Go to animate the chart. Stop will stop the animation and
Rewind will rewind the chart to the beginning of the file.

Saving Files
The Selected and Sub Set plots may be saved to new data files as needed.

2.7.1

Save a Sub Set File

On the Whole Set color contour plot, use the Zoom feature (see Selected Set,
page 3) to select the portion of the Whole Set to be displayed in the Sub Set
color contour plot. You can use the zoom feature on the Sub Set color contour
plot to further zoom in on the data.
a. On the File menu, click Save Sub Set.
b. Give the file a unique name. WinADCP does not add an extension type to
the file. To organize data files, you may want to add the *.000 file extension.
c. Click Save.
CAUTION. If the file name already exists as a closed data file, then the file
will be written over. You will be prompted if it is OK to overwrite the file.
NOTE. If the file name you select is the same as the currently open file
then the Sub Set of data is not written to the file.
The Sub Set has a limit of 8,192 ensembles.
If the Binary Data File that was opened had segmented consecutive file
names (i.e. DEMO001r.000, DEMO001r.001, DEMO001r.002) when you
save the Sub Set, it will be saved as one file. Make sure you use a unique
name to avoid overwriting a data file.
The format of the Sub Set file is the same as the raw ADCP Binary Data
File format. Sub Set files may be opened with other RDI Software.

Monitor Mode
WinADCP has the ability to automatically update the reading of a file as realtime data collection is occurring. When the file size increases, (due to real-time
data collection in another program such as VmDas) Monitor will automatically
reread the file at selected intervals and display the contents. When Monitor is
enabled and the file size is changing, all menu items except Monitor will be unavailable. You can change the interval by clicking Monitor, Interval. Enter
the monitor interval in seconds.
