The Temp / Salinity button opens a window that allows the user to evaluate the performance of the ADCP's thermister and to make changes to the temperature, salinity, and speed of sound.
 Temperature Units
The Units panel at the top left allows the user to change the temperature units.

 Graphics Toolbar
Allows user to zoom, pan, and query the graphs. For more information see Toolbar.

 Temperature Check
This is where the user can enter the temperature check information collected before the measurement. The User temperature is a temperature measured using an independent temperature sensor, and the ADCP temperature is the temperature measured at the same time by the ADCP. In the absence of the ADCP temperature, the User temperature will be compared to the average temperature for the entire measurement.
|
 Temperature Time Series
The temperature time series allows the review of a change in temperature during the measurement. A change in temperature could be due to the user failing to allow the ADCP to equilibrate to the water temperature or reflect a difference in water temperature from one side of the stream to the other.
|
 Temperature Source
Clicking on a row under temperature source allows the user to change the source of the tempature used to compute the speed of sound.
Notice that the Apply to buttons are not currently active. Since the original setting was internal no change has been made to apply. Selecting User will make the User edit box active.
The Apply to buttons will not become active until a user temperature is entered and the enter key pressed.
The user can then apply the change to the currently selected transect or to all transects.
|
 Average Temperature
The Average Temperature column displays the average temperature for the transect if the temperature source is Internal (ADCP) and clicking in a row of the column has not action. If the temperature source is User, this column displays the user entered temperature and clicking in a row of this column allows the user to change the User temperature or set the source back to Internal (ADCP).
|
 Average Salinity
The Average Salinity displays the user entered salinity. If this value was entered in the data collection software it is read into QRev. Clicking on a row under Average Salinity allows the user to change the salinity.
The Apply to buttons are inactive until a salinity has been entered and the enter key pressed.
|
 Speed of Sound Source
The Speed of Sound source can be changed by the User directly and is automatically changed if the user enters a temperature or salinity.
-
Internal (ADCP)—Speed of sound computed for each ensemble internally in the ADCP and used in the raw data.
-
Manual—A manually entered speed of sound that will be used for all ensembles in the transect.
-
Computed—The speed of sound is computed by QRev based on user provided salinity or average temperature, or both.
|
 Speed of Sound
The Speed of Sound column displays the average speed of sound used for the transect.Clicking on a row in the Speed of Sound column will result in no action. To manually change the speed of sound click a row in the speed of sound source column.
