CiTaDel / WorkHorse ADCP Interface
1.
Introduction
This application note describes how a Teledyne RD Instruments WorkHorse ADCP
with Firmware 16.20 and greater can be interfaced with a TRDI CiTaDeL CTD with
Firmware 5.12 and greater.
The TRDI CiTaDeL CTD is attached to the WorkHorse via an adapter cable (see
) that connects the WorkHorse RS-485 communications to the RS-
232 communications of the TRDI CiTaDeL CTD.
The WorkHorse interrogates the TRDI CiTaDeL CTD and stores the TRDI CiTaDeL
CTD data in the WorkHorse.

Configuration
Important Points:
•
To enable the TRDI CiTaDeL CTD interface you must add the
CC000000001 command to the command file.
•
Data is stored in the WorkHorse, not the TRDI CiTaDeL CTD.
•
The data stream stored in the WorkHorse from the TRDI CiTaDeL
CTD can be as long as necessary and easily exported using TRDI
WinADCP.
