RDI ADCP | norwegian-subsea

The RDI ADCP protocol is a proprietary ASCII text format used for interfacing with RDI ADCP equipment.

Data:

Format:

$PRDID,sddd.dd, sddd.dd, ddd.dd<CR><LF>

FIELD N.	FIELD	DESCRIPTION	UNIT	TYPE	NOTE
0	$PRDID	identifier	-	String	Telegram identifier.
1	sddd.dd	pitch angle	[deg]	DBL	s: sign indicator (positive (+) for bow up, negative (-) for bow down). ddd.dd: ‘ddd’ is the integer part of the pitch represented by three positive digits in range [-90,90],'.' is decimal separator and 'dd' is the fractional part of the pitch represented by two positive digits in range [0,99]. Note that ddd.dd is a decimal number with leading zeroes where appropriate.
2	sddd.dd	roll angle	[deg]	DBL	s: sign indicator (positive (+) for bow up, negative (-) for bow down). ddd.dd: ‘ddd’ is the integer part of the roll represented by three positive digits in range [-179,179],'.' is decimal separator and 'dd' is the fractional part of the roll represented by two positive digits in range [0,99]. Note that ddd.dd is a decimal number with leading zeroes where appropriate.
3	ddd.dd	heading angle	[deg]	DBL	Heading increase in clockwise direction. ddd.dd: ‘ddd’ is the integer part of the heading represented by three positive digits in range [000,359],'.' is decimal separator and 'dd' is the fractional part of the heading represented by two positive digits in range [0,99]. Note that ddd.dd is a decimal number with leading zeroes where appropriate.

Example:

RDI ADCP frame with raw example data is listed below.

Note

The reference frame for data (e.g., roll) is configurable in the RDI ADCP protocol. Also, the data's location (e.g., MRU or MP1) is configurable.
