Data output
The DVL can be configured to include both water track and current profile in addition to the standard
bottom track. These three modes have different output data formats and can be output in either
binary or ASCII format. The
DVL Integrator's Guide
contains a detailed format description for all the
different data outputs. The Nortek DVL supports older protocols which have been available (PDxx
variants). Otherwise, system integrators may choose to use native Nortek data formats which offer
expanded information (independent beam information and quality parameters) and are delivered in
efficient data packets.
Stream data serially:
The easiest way to stream data from the DVL is to:
Use the Ethernet cable to connect the instrument to the PC and open the web interface.
After you have configured the DVL, go to the instrument settings option. Select the correct serial
port type (RS232) and serial port baud rate.
Click Submit. The DVL should enter measurement mode as indicated by the blue LED flashing at
the sampling rate.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable and power.
Connect the serial cable and power. Data will stream out over the serial port immediately.
