Channel Master Operation Manual

1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the RD Instruments (RDI) Channel Master Hori-

zontal Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler.

Channel Master deployments are most often Real-Time. Real-Time use re-

fers to the fact you are viewing the data as the Channel Master collects it

via a personal computer. This data is also stored on the computer to allow

for data playback and processing at a later time.

NOTE. When you receive your Channel Master, review the Channel

Master Quick Start Guide

to see all of the pieces you should have in your

box. If anything is missing or damaged, contact RD Instruments

immediately.

NOTE. When an addition or correction to the manual is needed, an Interim

Change Notice (ICN) will be posted to our web site on the Customer

Service page (www.rdinstrument.com

). Please check our web site often.

1.1 Channel Master Applications

The Channel Master provides customers with reliable and repeatable

measurements of the horizontal current profile across a body of water at a

set depth, and displays the results through its user-friendly WinHADCP

software. For detailed information on how to use WinHADCP, see the

WinHADCP User’s Guide.
