VuSitu vs DischargeKeeperApp

Connect the VuSitu mobile app to In-Situ Inc. water monitoring instruments and telemetry to easily view, manage and share water quality and quantity data. Use any Bluetooth-enabled mobile device to configure, calibrate and deploy your instruments, view live readings, and set up logs. Log in to your HydroVu account for secure data storage and sharing. A user-friendly walkthrough makes it easy to set up log files of all types, even with delayed starts or offset entry. View real-time data on multiple water quality parameters, run low-flow sampling events from your phone, and quickly share your data with colleagues via HydroVu. The VuSitu mobile app makes it easy to: • Interface with In-Situ Inc. instruments • Configure VuLink telemetry devices • Gather real-time water quality and water level data • Create logs and manage log data for all supported instruments • Open data files in Excel or parse into other systems • Securely store all data files in the cloud • Calibrate your instruments • Use instant graphing to determine when to start and stop readings • Receive firmware updates for connected instruments and communication devices with embedded automatic updates or custom downloaded files • View data for conductivity, optical dissolved oxygen (DO), ORP, pH, turbidity, water level/pressure, temperature, ammonium, nitrate, chloride sensors, chlorophyll a, phycocyanin (BGA-PC), phycoerythrin (BGA-PE), FDOM, crude oil, rhodamine WT, fluorescein WT • Define geographic locations with GPS coordinates and photos • Select measurement units • Run low-flow sampling events with your Aqua TROLL 400/500/600 using managed workflows on your phone VuSitu is currently available for the Level TROLL®, Rugged TROLL®, Aqua TROLL®, MPX4, VuLink®, RDO® Blue, and RDO® handheld instruments, for surface water, groundwater, coastal, wastewater, drinking water and aquaculture applications.

The DischargeKeeper App (DKApp) can measure the discharge in rivers and channels in seconds, no need of ground control points neither cross section. The only information needed is the river width and the water depth, with this values and the recorded video, the DKapp delivers an approximate value of the discharge. If accurate measurements are needed, the data recorded with the DKApp can be reprocessed on the web. Quick guide: • Open the DKApp and record a 5 seconds video. • Let the DKApp know where the river is with 4 clicks. 1. click is where the water intersects the far shore 2. click where the water intersects the close shore 3. 2 clicks at the far water line. • Enter the river width at the given water level, this is the distance between the far and close water shore. The DKApp will calculate the surface velocity. • To get the discharge, in the next step enter the water level. More information can be found on photrack.ch website
