Can I get the raw data of the backscatter signal?

I wonder if it is possible to study turbidity from the ECO backscatter signal. For this, I would need the raw data before any automatic processing. I can't find it on the app, is it possible to get it ?

Thanks !

  Hello Ludivine

  Thank you for reaching out!  

  While the Eco is a great ADCP and the perfect solution for many applications, it does have some limitations.  One of these is the Eco does not report acoustic signal intensity data.  So that's is why you cannot find it on the App.

  If you are certain that you must have this type of data for your research, then may I suggest some of the several other Doppler systems offered by Nortek (https://www.nortekgroup.com/products), all of which do provide acoustic signal intensity data.

  Take care,

  -Dave
