Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers

ADCPs: Today's Tool For Measuring
Water Currents & Discharge

Quick Links: StreamPro----Rio Grande----Channel Master

Electronic Data Solutions is proud to announce that we are the new exclusive representative in the Western U. S. for Teledyne RD Instruments Accoustic Doppler Current Profilers. Teledyne RDI's Water Resources Business Unit provides highly accurate Doppler products for flow measurement and discharge applications in the inland environments.

The StreamPro ADCP

A revolutionary new tool for shallow water discharge measurement.

The StreamPro ADCP revolutionizes discharge and velocity measurement in stream from 15-200 cm in depth.

The StreamPro's 'bottom tracking' capability provides the ability to move continuously across the stream to obtain a discharge measurement in two or three minutes instead of thirty minutes to an hour using the older point-by-point method.

StreamPro's unique design allows you to take measurements without even entering the water. Simply pull the instrument across the stream as you walk across a bridge, or attach the unit to a tagline.

Data is collected in real-time and transmitted via a wireless data link to a convenient hand held PDA loaded with Teledyne RDI's user friendly software.

Features:

  • Quick: Collect complete velocity and discharge measurements in streams from 15 –225cm deep in a matter of minutes.
  • Convenient: No need to move from station to station. Simply wade across the stream or cross a bridge to collect data.
  • Easy to Operate: Data is conveniently acquired using a PocketPC equipped with a highly intuitive user interface.
  • Affordable: Value-priced system designed to suit your budget.
  • Bottom Tracking: Reliable bottom-tracking in ~10cm water depth.
  • Wireless: Bluetooth communications utilized between electronics and PocketPC.
  • Reduced Disturbance: Small transducer head, 3.5cm in diameter,for minimal flow disturbance.
  • Low Power: Full day of operation on 8 AA batteries.
  • Versatile: Minimum cell size 2cm with up to 20 cells.Maximum profiling range of up to 2 meters.
  • Flexible Data Format: All acquired data is compatible with RDI ’s WinRiver software for detailed data playback and processing.

Application Software for StreamPro:

StreamPro ADCP Software. Data is transmitted via a wireless link from the StreamPro electronics to a hand held PC. Data can be viewed in real time utilizing Teledyne RDI’s highly intuitive StreamPro software, and can be post processed and manipulated at a later date using Teledyne RDI’s WinRiver software.

StreamPro Section-by-Section Software. With Section-by-Section software, water velocity and depth data is actually acquired at a series of fixed locations across the measured body of water.

Workhorse Rio Grande

Moving Discharge Measurement

Workhorse Rio Grande is a accurate, rapid sampling current profiling system designed to operate from a moving boat.

The Rio Grande can be used for a wide range of river conditions, from shallow 30 cm deep streams to rushing rivers and tidal estuaries where no prior discharge data exists.

Product Features:

  • Teledyne RDI's patented BroadBand technology allows small depth cells and fast transects in velocity and discharge measurements.
  • Fast, accurate, and repeatable discharge measurement.
  • Integration capability with external sensors: GPS, depth sounder, and gyro compass through Windows software (WinRiver).
  • Low flow or weak current measurement capability with high-precision modes (equipped as standard).
  • Large depth range profiling capability that allows one unit to be used in both dry season (shallow and low flow) and flood season (high stage and strong flow) for the same site.
  • Windows-based data acquisition and playback software with standard discharge summary table playback and processing.

ChannelMaster

Extended Range, Horizontal Profiling

The compact, versatile and affordable ChannelMaster is a two-beam, horizontally oriented ADCP designed to obtain high accuracy velocity data at ranges from 1 to 300 meters, utilizing 1 to 128 cells of data.

By leveraging Teledyne RDI’s patented BroadBand technology, ChannelMaster allows you to obtain unmatched data quality, even in low velocities and complex flows, where a single cell cannot provide enough information. The ChannelMaster is ideally suited for use in rivers, streams, estuaries, open channels, and ports and harbors.

ChannelMaster applications include:
Streams and Rivers -

  • Obtain high accuracy velocity data for use in computing discharge. The unit includes an accurate acoustic level sensor and pressure sensor to determine stage as well.
    Open Channels -
  • Obtain accurate velocity data for pacing water quality samplers.
    Estuaries -
  • Measure the complex currents for environmental monitoring or circulation model calibrations.
    Ports and Harbors -
  • Monitor currents to provide accurate information for mariners. Click Here To Go To RD Instrument's Web Site For More Information on the ChannelMaster.
