Import RDI ADCP collected in beam coordinates

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently RDI Workhorse parser assumes that the ADCP is using earth coordinates 
(EX11111 setup command). Can the parser be expanded to read and transform data 
collected in beam coordinates (EX00000 setup command). Have seen examples of 
how this is done in USGS ADCPtoolbox 
(http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/stg/pubs/ADCPtools/adcp_index.htm).

Simon,

could you send me a file example? Also, how urgent is this, do you have lots of 
files waiting to be processed?

Cheers,

Guillaume.

See WH_CG_Feb13.PDF Workhorse Command and Output Data Format p.130:

EX / Coord Transform Contains the coordinate transformation processing parameters (EX command). These firmware switches indicate how the WorkHorse ADCP collected data. xxx00xxx = NO TRANSFORMATION (BEAM COORDINATES) xxx01xxx = INSTRUMENT COORDINATES xxx10xxx = SHIP COORDINATES xxx11xxx = EARTH COORDINATES xxxxx1xx = TILTS (PITCH AND ROLL) USED IN SHIP OR EARTH TRANSFORMATION xxxxxx1x = 3-BEAM SOLUTION USED IF ONE BEAM IS BELOW THE CORRELATION THRESHOLD SET BY THE WC command xxxxxxx1 = BIN MAPPING USED
