The data for the present cruise is in the network share data directory under the generic name “current_cruise”, and under the cruise name used for logging. During a cruise, all logging and processing take place in this directory. Figures and data accessible through the web interface are generated using these data. After the ADCP Operator has stopped ADCP data acquisition and clicked “end cruise” the archived figures are copied to this directory, and it then contains all pertinent data from the ADCP.
