SonTek/YSI Argonaut-XR Technical Manual - HydroScientific West

SonTek/YSI
The program generates tabular data files with one line per sample. The first value in each line is
the sample number. This is followed by the measurement at each cell in the sample, starting with
cell 1 (closest to the transducer). The range from the instrument to the center of each cell is given
in the ASCII file generated by GARGCTL. This range can also be calculated by the formula: Range
= Blanking Distance + (Cell Number * Cell Size). Note: If the Profiling Mode option is not
installed on your system, or if ProfilingMode=NO, only one cell is available.
The measurement unit for standard deviation of velocity is cm/s (or ft/s).
6.6. Pressure Series Data Extraction: GARGPRES
GARGPRES extracts pressure series data recorded with each Argonaut sample. For each sample,
information includes the sample number and 1024 raw pressure values (in counts). The command
format is as follows.

File names must be given without extension. GARGPRES generates an ASCII output file with the
extension .PTS. The program assumes that the Argonaut data file has the extension .ARG. If no
is specified, the program uses the same name as the binary data file. First sample
and last sample let you extract a subset of the data. If they are not specified the program extracts
all samples in the file.
