capabilities for both X and Y axes.
g. The software shall allow the user to magnify the time scale on a graph, decreasing the
time span that is displayed, and unmagnify the time scale on a graph, increasing the time
span that is displayed.
It. The software shall have savable text box labeling, for on -screen viewing and exported
PDF and HTML formats.
i. The software shall allow the user to specify that a line in a graph or table be generated
using either original or edited data.
j. The software shall allow the user to display date, time, and bottle number of samples in
graph and tables.
k. The software shall have the capability to generate graphs and reports with data from more
than one site.
4. Flow Profiling for Pulsed Doppler Data
a. The software shall allow velocity profile graphing in the form of a cross section
hydrograph with color contour plotting of each velocity value in the water column.
b. The software shall allow graphing of raw Doppler -based velocity components measured
by each individual beam.
c. The software shall allow graphing of signal strength and quality of data.
G. EDITING DATA
1. The software shall include capabilities for adjusting the times and values of stored readings.
The software shall display the original and edited data in graph and table format
simultaneously (except for scatter plot graphs), and the data can be edited in either view. The
software shall allow single values on a graph to be moved to new points by clicking and
dragging. The software shall save both the original and edited data, and shall include the
capability to restore all or selected edited data to the original values. The software shall
include the capability to undo all editing since the last time changes were saved.

2. The software shall cut or copy data from one time period and paste the data into another time
period. Types of reading adjustments shall be constant, fixed, and proportional. a
3. A constant adjustment shall set all selected readings to a constant value. A constant
multiplier value shall be applied to the original values. A fixed adjustment shall add or
subtract a fixed value from all selected readings. A proportional adjustment shall distribute a
positive or negative value over all selected readings. An auto -correct adjustment shall
calculate a selected range of data points so that a straight line connects them. A time
adjustment shall adjust selected readings forward or backward by a fixed amount.
4. There shall be scatter plot editing capability, for both single point and X or Y axis
adjustment.
H. DATA ANALYSIS
1. The software shall have the capability to convert level and velocity data into flow rate based
on a variety of flow conversions, including those retrieved from instruments and those
generated independent of the instruments. The software shall also be able to calculate
volumes over time from the flow rate.
2. The software shall allow the user to enter a relative time shift, or an absolute date and time,
for each data set, so that data from more than one time period can be compared.
3. The software shall be able to generate graphs and tables that include addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division of data, and to employ series formula operators.
4. The software shall be able to generate graphs and tables that include average, minimum,
maximum, and total values calculated over a specified summary interval, and to include the
date and time of the minimum and maximum values in tables.
5. The software shall be able to save the data from the lines of a graph or the columns in a table
as datasets in a new site, so that these calculated datasets can be included in other graphs and
tables.
6. The software shall be capable of creating a reference curve from a baseline data set for
comparison with other data sets of the same measurement type. A series formula shall report
the differences between the reference curve and the compared data set.
7. The software shall be capable of data accumulation with or without resetting to zero at each
summary interval, across the displayed time span.
S. The software shall have the capability to plot two data sets as an X -Y scatter plot so the
relationship between the data sets can be easily viewed.
9. The software shall be able to superimpose a third- degree polynomial or a Manning formula
curve over scatter plot data, with user- specified upper and lower limits.
EXPORTING DATA
1. The software shall export the data from any graph or table to an ASCII spreadsheet file in
comma separated value format for analysis with other software. The file shall include a
header identifying the type of data, units of measure, resolution, and number of significant
digits for each column in the file, followed by the date and time in the first column and one
column for each line in the graph or table. The file, if specified, shall also include a footer
showing average values.
2. The software shall export graphs and tables in PDF and HTML formats.

1. The software shall support Object Linking and Embedding ( OLE), allowing graphs and
tables from the software to be embedded in and linked to Microsoft Word documents, Excel a
spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations. Selecting a graph or table embedded in or linked
to a file in another application shall activate the software, allowing access to the database
from which the graph or table was embedded, or to which it is linked. When a graph or table
from the software is linked to a file in another application, the data in the graph or table shall
be, automatically updated when the file to which it is linked is opened.
K. SCHEDULES
1. The software shall include schedules to automatically retrieve stored data from instruments,
print graphs and tables, import and export data, calculate datasets, ran command line driven
programs, and schedule database maintenance ( compacting / backup). The software shall
include the capability to drag and drop the sites to be interrogated, and the graphs and tables
to be printed, into a schedule. The software shall ran a schedule manually, once, hourly,
daily, weekly, or monthly. The software shall include a wakeup monitor that runs in the
background and monitors the schedules in the database, and starts the software and mns the
schedules in the database at the specified time.
L. DATA BACKUP, ARCHIVE, AND TRANSFER
1. The software shall have the capability to back up the database. The software shall compress
the backup data and store it on a zip drive, floppy disks, or a network drive. The software
shall also have the capability to restore the database from backup.
2. The software shall have the capability to archive and transfer data from the database.
Archiving data shall remove the data from the database, while transferring data shall make a
copy of the data for transfer to another computer but shall not remove the data from the
database. The software shall have the option to compress the archived or transferred data, and
shall store the data on a zip drive, floppy disks, or a network drive. The software shall also
have the capability to restore data from archive.
Requires optional telephone modem with voice messaging in each flow meter or sampler.
a Requires optional cellular modem with text messaging in each flow meter (remote data access only) or sampler.
J Requires an Isco 2105 /C /G Interface Module.

Flow Module
The 2150 Plow Module uses continuous wave
Doppler technology, to measure mean velocity.
The sensor transmits a continuous ultrasonic
wave, then measures the frequency shift of
returned echoes reflected by air bubbles or
particles in the flow.
The 2150' s " smart" area velocity probe is
built on digital electronics, so the analog level
is digitized in the sensor itself to overcome
electromagnetic interference. The
