The Monitor is Teledyne RD Instruments
most popular direct-reading Acoustic Doppler Current
Profiler (ADCP). The unit is typically bottom frame-mounted
and hard-wired to shore to provide real-time monitoring
of coastal currents. The Monitor's high data accuracy and
reliability make it a favorite for deployments in highvolume
traffic areas such as ports and harbors, where the
data is often integrated into a Vessel Traffic Monitoring
System. In fact, the Monitor has been selected for most
major port programs undertaken in the United States.

Origin is at the intersection of the symmetric axis of the cylinder and the rear of the sensor
X is perdendicular to the symmetric axis and intersects the indicator on the casing
Y = Z cross X
Z is along the symmetric axis of the sensor in the "up" direction
