Hosted in Houston, TX, this course offers an in-depth overview of the principals and applications of Teledyne RDI’s DVL products as they apply to your underwater platform.
Day 1 - Basic Training - Thursday, April 18, 2013
8:30 am - 9:00 am - arrival / continental breakfast
9:00 am - 5:00 pm - training (lunch and breaks provided)
This basic training will focus on the fundamentals of the DVL’s basic operation, diagnostics, and primary integration concerns. Topics discussed will include:
- Basics of Doppler Shift
- Basic operational setup/software
- Data output and interpretation
- Ping rate and effect on accuracy
- Effects and importance of Speed of Sound, temperature, salinity, turbidity, roll, pitch, yaw
- Using a DVL at low altitude
- Using a DVL at low and high velocities - limitations and effects on accuracy
- Differences related to beam orientation (Beam 3 forward vs. all beams at 45 degrees)
- Causes of saturation and ringing
- External sensors (Sound Velocity Probe, Temperature, and pressure sensors)
- Sources of interference.
- Using a DVL in conjunction with other acoustic sensors and the need for triggering
- Problem solving - Diagnostic Fundamentals for DVL’s
- Basic maintenance
- A look inside the DVL
Day 2 - Advanced Training - Friday, April 19, 2013
8:30 am - 9:00 am - arrival / continental breakfast
9:00 am - 5:00 pm - training (lunch and breaks provided)This advanced training will focus on a combination of practical application and more advanced theory, with a focus on using the DVL for navigation as well as current profiling purposes, and interpreting the data output. Topics discussed will include:
-Benefit vs. narrowband;
- Determining average velocity and range from four independent beams
- Front end hardware (aliasing) and software (windowing) filters and their effects on response data
- Understanding broadband:
-Creating the transmit pulses-Time domain correlation of receive data to transmit data;-Effects of uncorrelated external interference-Understanding frequency domain response data
- Using a DVL at low altitude
- Using a DVL for Current Profiling
- Differences related to beam orientation (Beam 3 forward vs. all beams at 45 degrees)
- Interpreting data in PD5, PD6, and PD0 data files, and when to use each file type.
- Understanding Ambiguity
- Using a DVL at low and high velocities:
-Limitations
-Effects on accuracy
- Variation with beam orientation
