For the column headers to the data exported from ViewADP/ViewADPPro,
please refer to Section 3 of the ADP Software Manual. That Section
covers the DOS extraction programs. The exported data from ViewADP is in
the exact same format as the DOS extracted files described in the
manual. So the header file (*.hdr) is in the same format as shown in
Section 3.2 (but note addition below). The amplitude (a1, a2, a3), SNR
(sn1, sn2, sn3), standard deviation (sd1, sd2, sd3), velocity (v1, v2,
v3, or vx, vy, vz, or ve, vn, vu), speed (.spd) and direction (.dir)
files all have the same format, except with different values. That is,
the first column is the profile number and each column after that is
each individual cell starting from 1 and increasing. If invalid values
are present (e.g. discarded by Bottom Track), a value of 32767 will be
returned. Please contact me if that doesn't make sense.
*.hdr
Columns 1-20 as same as in section 3.2, then:
ExtSensor1 (counts)
ExtSensor2 (counts)
ExtSensor1 Std Dev (counts)
ExtSensor2 Std Dev (counts)
The rest of the files have the following headers:
*.dav - is the Depth Avg Velocities.
NOTE: only cells which have valid data are included in the average.
Cells invalidated by BT or Pressure signal are not included.
Profile #
DAV x-dir
DAV y-dir
DAV magnitude
DAV direction
*.btk - Bottom Track Data
Profile #
Btrack status (0-100) internal use

bands)

*.puv - Raw Wave Time Series
Profile #

(NOTE: Each time series can occupy several consecutive lines with each
line containing the profile number corresponding to the profile when the
time series was started. The data may "wrap-up" and continue on the
next four columns)
*.sen
Profile #
ExtSensor1 (counts)
ExtSensor2 (counts)
ExtSensor1 Std Dev (counts)
ExtSensor2 Std Dev (counts)
Note: For the .pc file exported from a PC-ADP data file, see Table B-4
in Appendix B of the ADP Operation Manual.
