WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:11.139 --> 00:00:13.519 Hi, my name is Nick Stasulis and I am a hydrologic technician with the Maine Office of the New 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.150 England Water Science Center. 00:00:15.150 --> 00:00:19.400 In this video, we will review the procedures for documenting an ADCP midsection measurement 00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:20.400 in SVMobile. 00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:26.180 This video will only cover the procedures for use of SVMobile specific to staging and 00:00:26.180 --> 00:00:28.070 importing a midsection ADCP measurement. 00:00:28.070 --> 00:00:33.600 Videos on the use of SVMobile for sensor and control inspections, high water marks, and 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.129 other purposes can be found by visiting the USGS YouTube page at the address shown, selecting 00:00:40.129 --> 00:00:46.629 Playlists, and selecting HydroTube Training. 00:00:46.629 --> 00:00:58.820 Here we see the Site Visit Tasks page in SVMobile, and we’ll select Discharge Measurement to 00:00:58.820 --> 00:00:59.820 begin. 00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:09.500 On the page that follows, we will select New Channel, enter the channel name, pick the 00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:14.340 midsection measurement method and select your deployment method. 00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:18.790 For velocity method, you will select ADCP. 00:01:18.790 --> 00:01:25.009  A pop-up will ask if you’d like to stage the channel, and you will select yes. 00:01:25.009 --> 00:01:29.072 These steps should be done as you are setting up for your measurement, before you’ve started 00:01:29.072 --> 00:01:30.072 collecting data. 00:01:30.072 --> 00:01:39.950 Staging will allow you to take notes on when the clock was synced, if the instrument or 00:01:39.950 --> 00:01:42.840 ADCP test was run and if the compass was calibrated. 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.950 You can ignore the GPS Unit field and the Moving Bed Present field. 00:01:47.950 --> 00:01:53.630 Some users chose to fill in the Boat/Motor field with the trimaran information, or the 00:01:53.630 --> 00:01:59.170 manned boat they used, which might not be typical for this method. 00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:03.539 The Temperature/Salinity Readings page is where you need to document your ADCP temperature, 00:02:03.539 --> 00:02:06.070 reference temperature and salinity, if needed. 00:02:06.070 --> 00:02:12.920 Be sure to select the units, add necessary comments, and select Add. 00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:33.970 When collecting data, leave this page open so you can utilize the Acoustic Channel notes, 00:02:33.970 --> 00:02:37.239 for comments related to data collection, site conditions, or other important observations. 00:02:37.239 --> 00:02:49.950 Once the measurement is complete, select Done and fill out the measurement location, flow 00:02:49.950 --> 00:03:00.910 condition, channel conditions and velocity information. 00:03:00.910 --> 00:03:11.470 Here you will see the channel is listed as staged as we have not yet brought in any discharge 00:03:11.470 --> 00:03:12.470 information. 00:03:12.470 --> 00:03:14.950 To do this, right click on the channel and select Import. 00:03:14.950 --> 00:03:27.620 For TRDI SxS Pro, you will select the .xml file, which is created by selecting File > XML 00:03:27.620 --> 00:03:34.810 Summary > Export. 00:03:34.810 --> 00:03:37.670 For SonTek RiverSurveyor Stationary Live, you’ll use the Export Discharge Summary 00:03:37.670 --> 00:03:41.150 to ASCII icon, which will create a .dis file. 00:03:41.150 --> 00:03:46.379 After selecting the .xml or .dis file, SVMobile will identify the file type, which you should 00:03:46.379 --> 00:03:47.379 confirm. 00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:50.430 Now, scan through the channel information and fill out necessary fields, including a 00:03:50.430 --> 00:03:52.250 check next to meter inspected. 00:03:52.250 --> 00:04:03.689 Confirm your entries on the Acoustic Information page and confirm the imported midsection details. 00:04:03.689 --> 00:04:10.079 The channel summary should be complete, including the newly imported discharge. 00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:16.380 Back on the list of channels that make up your measurement, you could add another channel, 00:04:16.380 --> 00:04:19.970 but for this example, we’ll enter a gage height to check the measured flow against 00:04:19.970 --> 00:04:22.820 the rating, and select Done. 00:04:22.820 --> 00:04:42.690 On the measurement summary, you need to identify the measurement number, or have it auto-sequenced, 00:04:42.690 --> 00:04:47.669 rate the measurement, document the base flow condition, enter the measurement gage height 00:04:47.669 --> 00:04:49.830 information and populate the start and end times. 00:04:49.830 --> 00:04:54.620 Be sure to include comments in this dialog, but note that you do not need to duplicate 00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:58.490 any comments made in the Acoustic Information page, these will be pulled in automatically. 00:04:58.490 --> 00:05:04.550 Here, you could note why a measurement was down-rated, issues with measurement gage height, 00:05:04.550 --> 00:05:07.550 or other measurement considerations. 00:05:07.550 --> 00:05:16.320 Once complete, select Done, which brings you to the Discharge Measurements page. 00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:24.960 It’s important to note that the measurement file will need to be re-imported into SVMobile 00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:27.570 if changes are made after the original import. 00:05:27.570 --> 00:05:35.150 The series of YouTube videos mentioned previously covers the process of reimporting a measurement, 00:05:35.150 --> 00:05:43.410 and is available through the HydroTube Training playlist on the USGS YouTube channel. 00:05:43.410 --> 00:05:44.419 Hopefully this brief demonstration was useful in outlining the basic process of staging 00:05:44.419 --> 00:05:47.330 and documenting a midsection ADCP measurement in SVMobile.
