5 Setup the WorkHorse Rio Grande ADCP
Figure 5 illustrates how to connect the WorkHorse cables and adapters on
your workbench. The internal battery plugs into a connector on the top
circuit board.
You will need a container of water large enough to submerge the Work-
Horse’s transducer head into during testing (two to three inches of water is
sufficient). Testing the WorkHorse out of water may cause some tests to
fail but causes no harm to the WorkHorse.

5.1 Serial Communication
The standard communications settings for a WorkHorse Rio Grande is RS-
232, 9600-baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. If the serial protocol is
set for RS232 and your computer expects RS422, you will need an RS232
to RS422 adapter between the WorkHorse cable and your computer. You
can set the WorkHorse for baud rates other than 9600 baud.
RS422
. The WorkHorse Rio Grande is normally set for RS232, but it can be
changed to RS422 by changing a switch setting. The switch is in plain view
on the top circuit board, near the cable connectors. Its settings are plainly
marked on the board. This user’s guide assumes that you use RS232.
5.2 What if the WorkHorse Does Not Respond
If your WorkHorse does not respond, check the serial port, cables, and
power. If necessary, refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide in the WorkHorse
technical manual.
