Mike,
 
There are three attachments on this email:
 
- Nortek "System Integrator Guide", which describes the Aquadopp data structures.
 
- A 'zip' file that installs the latest version of Nortek "AquaPro" software for Windows. AquaPro processes binary Aquadopp instrument data, and converts it to ascii format.
 
- Zipp'ed tar file of the SIAM moos.devices.nortek package, which includes a utility called NortekFileBuilder; this utility extracts raw Nortek data structures from the Aquadopp's SIAM log file, and writes them to a file which can be read and processed by AquaPro software (and hence converted to ascii).  A while ago Kevin and I discussed how SSDS could utilize this code to post-process the Nortek data.
