If the RiverPro/RioPro has beam angle errors, they are reflected in the instrument transformation matrix
and the Beam Directional matrix. This matrix, when multiplied by the raw beam data gives currents in the
x, y, z, and e directions.
Pre-deployment Test
This diagnostic test checks the major RiverPro/RioPro modules and signal paths. The Recorder test
counts down from 65536 to 0 as test progresses. If the recorder has data stored in it, the recorder test
won’t run. To clear the recorder use the
. For example, the output may look like this:
>pa
RAM test................PASS
ROM test................PASS
RTC test................PASS
UART test...............PASS
Compass test............PASS
Temperature test........PASS
GPS test................PASS
Recorder test...........PASS

Display Heading, Pitch, Roll, and Voltage
The PC tests displays heading, pitch angle, roll angle, temperature, and voltage in a repeating loop at ap-
proximately 0.5-sec update rate. Any key pressed exits this command and returns the user to the com-
mand prompt. Sending PC0 will display a help list of the PC commands.
PC2 updates the output without a linefeed. PC20 provides linefeeds with each update.
The Batt(V) battery voltage should be greater than 10.5 volts.

PC0 = Help
PC2 = Display Sensor Data
PC4 = Display Voltage Monitor ADC Data
PC20 = Display Scrolling Sensor Data
