AutoTide Animation

Here is an animated example of how the AutoTide feature works...

Figure 1A  Figure 1B

Figure 1A shows how an Argonaut-XR uses the AutoTide feature to collect depth integrated velocities throughout the maximum range of the XR. The pressure sensor sets the top boundary (Cell End); the bottom boundary (Cell Start) is fixed.

Figure 1B shows how the XR uses the AutoTide feature to collect depth integrated velocities within a selected depth range. In this case, the pressure sensor sets both boundaries (Cell Start and Cell End).

In both cases, the "cones" for each transducer show the sampling volume within which the velocity data are integrated for the selected depth. To see (or return to) an animated example of an Argonaut data collection cycle, go here.
