StreamPro Firmware

Firmware for Teledyne RD Instruments StreamPro ADCP

Version	Status	Changes and Known Issues
31.17 (Mar. 2021)	Testing	- This is the minimum firmware version for StreamPros shipped circa March 2021 or later. - Increased scope of supported Bluetooth hardware.
31.16 Dec 2010	Required minimum as of 8/6/2018	- Increased scope of supported Bluetooth hardware. +May be required for newer (> July 2017) instruments - Fixed an issue where having only 1 of 2 valid bottom pings could cause the bottom track intensity and correlation to be doubled.
31.15 Dec 2015	Required Minimum (2/27/2017 to 8/6/2018)	- fixed bug with Extended Profile Range in WM13 where depth cells 21-30 were populated with static, meaningless data
31.14 Sept 2015	Testing (Until 2/27/2017)	- added support for Bluetooth Module change in new StreamPros -known issue: WM13 only works properly up to 20 good depth cells of data; depth cells 21-30 are populated with static, meaningless data. The work-around for new data collection in WM13 is to manually configure the number of depth cells and size in the WinRiver II measurement wizard so that 20 depth cells will cover the desired profiling range. Note this only affects Water Mode 13 (low noise mode). This issue is in all prior versions that support "long range mode" (through 31.07)
31.13 May 2013	Allowed (Until 2/27/2017)	-added support for new compass part number used in new StreamPros -known issue: WM13 only works properly up to 20 good depth cells of data; depth cells 21-30 are populated with static, meaningless data. The work-around for new data collection in WM13 is to manually configure the number of depth cells and size in the WinRiver II measurement wizard so that 20 depth cells will cover the desired profiling range. Note this only affects Water Mode 13 (low noise mode). This issue is in all prior versions that support "long range mode" (through 31.07)
31.12 Dec 2010	Allowed (Until 2/27/2017)	-fixed issue of beam depth occasionally reported as a multiple of the true depth. -fixed issue of compass offset of 45 degrees. -Make sure to read the instructions to select correct upgrade -Requires StreamPro software 3.33 or later. -Requires WinRiver II software 2.06 or later
31.11	Allowed (Until 2/27/2017)	-fixed problem with upgrading StreamPros containing older firmware. Make sure to read the instructions prior upgrading -known issue: occasionally a beam depth is reported as a multiple of the true depth. -known issue: compass offset of 45 degrees. Need to set "beam 3 misalignment" to -45 in WinRiver when using GPS -Requires StreamPro software 3.33 or later. -Requires WinRiver II software 2.06 or later.
31.10	Testing (Until 2/27/2017)	-Improved bottom track -known issue: problem upgraded to this version from older firmware -Requires StreamPro software 3.33 or later. -Requires WinRiver II software 2.06 or later.
31.09	Testing (Until 2/27/2017)	-fixed WinRiver II initialization problems -normalized correlation in the water profile -Requires StreamPro software 3.33 or later. -Requires WinRiver II software 2.06 or later.
31.08	Testing (Until 2/27/2017)	-known issue: WinRiver II initialization problems -adjusted bottom tracking -Requires StreamPro software 3.33 or later. -Requires WinRiver II software 2.06 or later.
31.07	Testing (Until 2/27/2017)	-added support for StreamPro Compass -added support for 6m long range mode -Requires StreamPro software 3.33 or later. -Requires WinRiver II software 2.06 or later.
31.06	Testing (Until 2/27/2017)	-fixed 2.77% error in vertical range -not compatible with newer versions of WinRiver II and StreamPro software -not compatible with StreamPros that have a compass
31.05	Testing (Until 2/27/2017)	added beam matrix data to PD0 -known issue: 2.77% error in vertical range -not compatible with newer versions of WinRiver II and StreamPro software -not compatible with StreamPros that have a compass
31.04	Required Minimum (Until 2/27/2017)	-known issue: 2.77% error in vertical range -not compatible with newer versions of WinRiver II and StreamPro software -not compatible with StreamPros that have a compass

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.
