Vectrino software options
The Vectrino software program has been designed to set up and read data
acquired by the Vectrino, and is available in two flavors: Vectrino and
Vectrino
¨
. The latter provides a wider range for some of the settings than the
standard version does.
The Vectrino
¨
firmware allows data collection rates up to 200Hz, significantly
higher than the standard Vectrino firmware which has a performance similar
to that of the standard NDV/ADV®, with a maximum output rate of 25Hz.
With Vectrino
¨
a parallel receiver will provide you with four times as many
samples. The Vectrino
¨
also has a separate echo sounder mode for distance
measurements.
The standard Vectrino application is shipped with the instrument. For more
information about the optional software packages and system integration
options, contact your local Nortek representative or Nortek AS. (See our
contact information in Chapter 11, Further Information and Help.)
