RSQ: Visualize and Process Data Like Never Before!
V 3.1 – 24JUN2024 – 60MB
RSQ is a modern and user-friendly software interface. One measurement file includes all the data and metadata you need for each measurement. Export data to formats for Excel, Matlab, Google Earth, Kisters, and AGILA. Do more with less time utilizing improved site templates. Experiment, learn, or teach in the office or conference room as though you were in the field with the option to playback recorded files simulating live data collection. Flexibility is key with RS5!
WITH RSQ YOU CAN:
- Collect both moving boat or stationary measurements
- Connect to Network RTK (NTRIP) within network range
- Use GNSS to calculate distance between stations for stationary measurements
- Run and apply Extrap (USGS) to both moving boat and stationary measurements
- Sub-section moving boat transects and recalculate discharge
- Choose beam switching (3-beam solution) when one beam shows interference
- Process *.riv/*.rivr files from SonTek’s M9 or S5
- Save data on a PC, external drive, or network
- Custom file naming option
- Select between GNSS or built in magnetic compass for heading
