Sentinel V Real-Time Features
Sentinel V Real-Time ADCP is designed for real-time applications such as vessel-mount, waves, and tur-
bulence. It is a direct-read capable ADCP based on the Sentinel V hardware. It can be sold as a new unit,
or as a field-upgradeable “kit”. Firmware upgrades from Real-Time (and back to) Self-Contained allows
dual-application use.
The Sentinel V Real-Time ADCP consists of an ADCP, housing with serial or Ethernet connector, mi-
croSDHC memory card, and software. The Sentinel V Real-Time Series ADCP requires the addition of a
Windows® compatible computer to configure the ADCP and replay collected data.
The figure below shows the no battery Real-Time (RT) housing (see
), but any V Series housing with a serial connector can be used. The “no connector”
option is not compatible with a Sentinel V Real-Time.
