WinRiver II (SxS Mode)

Data collection and post processing software (Windows) for discharge data applications. WinRiver II provides a measurement centric design, an improved configuration wizard, and enhanced capabilities for reviewing data. It can be used for data collection and processing with Teledyne-RDI equipment, including Rio Grande, Streampro, and RiverRay models. The table below is only referring to the SxS Mode portion of WinRiver II used for making mid-section discharge measurements. A license is required with each instrument used in data collection of mid-section measurements.

Version
Status
Changes and Known Issues
Testing
-fixed issue in foreign language versions
-*requires StreamPro firmware 31.07 or later
-known issue: Measurement summary will state compass calibration NO, even if a calibration was performed when using a StreamPro with a compass
-Note OSW plans limited testing with SXS mode of WinRiver II. Future OSW testing of midsection software for TRDI equipment will focus on the newer SxSPro software.
2.06
Testing
-added support for: StreamPro compass, StreamPro extended long range mode, and RiverRay
-*requires StreamPro firmware 31.07 or later
-changed license method
2.05
Testing
-many stability improvements in SxS mode
2.04
Testing
-changed sidelobe computations, which resulted in change in discharge when compared to previous versions
-fixed numerous issues
-required for moving-boat measurements in OSW Tech. Memo 2009.02

Software/Firmware Status Definitions

Required Minimum: Minimum version required. This version has proven stable and may contain enhancements that are significant over previous required versions

Recommended: Shown to have been reliable and contains features that result in a recommended upgrade over the required version. There could be a few specific use cases where this version may have issues that would result in some users not using this version. If so, those cases will be noted.

Allowed*: Deemed reliable during initial testing. Any issues will be noted along with improvements available over prior versions. Use of allowed versions may be desired in cases when the changes benefit a significant number of the user's conditions or equipment. For example: a new version of software is released that adds support for new hardware. If the user has this hardware, they would need to upgrade to the newer software before it becomes recommended or required. Use of these versions by experienced users will also help OSW identify any unknown issues.

Testing*: OSW is currently testing; any known issues or advantages over prior release will be noted. The use of a version that is in testing should usually be limited to advanced users that can trouble shoot potential issues and provide feedback on any irregularities or problems observed.

Do Not Use: A version either prior to the required minimum or that contains issues that significantly affect operations.

*Note: A version may remain in Allowed or Testing indefinitely. Example: A new version is released while the prior version is still in Testing. In this case the prior version may remain in Testing, while future testing efforts are placed on the newer version.
