1.1.5 

TRDI WorkHorse ADCP Battery Life: 

The WorkHorse will be waking up earlier than PLANADCP is calculating for pow-

er.  You must calculate this extra power consumption using the following formula:  

WHADCP/CTD Interface Power Use = 0.88W-s/3600 * (24/ensemble interval (hours)) * 

Duration (days) = Watt Hours of usage 

1.1.6 

CTD Output Data Format: 

This Application Note has setup the TRDI CiTaDeL CTD to output a specific data 

format.  While it is possible to use different data formats we provide you the doc-

umentation for the data format that we are recommending. 
The WH ADCP will capture the data exactly as it is output from the Citadel CTD 

into a 256byte data buffer inside the WH PD0 string.   The WH ADCP PD0 data ID 

is 0800h and the data will follow this data ID.   

Date, Time, Conductivity, Temperature, Pressure, Salinity, Speed of Sound <cr> 
DATAIDMM-DD-YYYY,HH:MM:SS,CC.CCCC,TT.TTTT,PPPP.PP,SS.SSSS,VVVV.VVVV <cr> 
000801-11-2011,12:00:02,CC.CCCC,TT.TTTT,PPPP.PP,SS.SSSS,VVVV.VVVV <cr> 
<cr> = carriage return 

 

Each character following data ID above appears exactly as you see in the PDO data 

file.

Setup Sequence 

a.  Connect the CTD to your PC in as presented below and set it up as described in 

TRDI CiTaDeL CTD Setup

. 

b.  Start a HyperTerminal [either BBTalk or MS Hyperterminal or CTDPro 4.28 

Terminal]
