Can the nortek aquadopp "orientation" field change during a deployment?
Following on from https://github.com/dankelley/oce/issues/1758#issuecomment-745566119
Oh, and I see the "orientation" field IS there, it's just been renamed to be orientation, rather than configTiltSensorOrientation ...
if (missing(orientation)) {
orientation <- header$head$configTiltSensorOrientation # FIXME: is there a 'header$head'?
} else {
orientation <- match.arg(orientation, c("sideward", "upward", "downward"))
}
One concern I have about this (which was an issue with RDI instruments, I believe), is that we are treating this field as a constant for the entire file, whereas it may actually vary depending on how the orientation changes. For example, if the instrument was lying on its side on deck before deployment, it might register that as "downward" even if it ends up deployed in an "upward" position. I'd better open a separate issue for this (and debug by checking the instrument logs, which I'm waiting for from our field group).

Slow down stale bot -- it's the holidays!
I just doubled both time criteria.
A reminder: I'll need a sample file. (To prevent concern over missing-mail problems, please note that I'll email back when you send it.)
Sent.

Removing the stale label, as I am waiting for @dankelley to have a look at the sample file that I sent. There isn't a big rush for this, but it probably shoudn't just disappear.
I imagine you knew I was going to ask this, but can you resend the sample file? I don't track emails well (by which I mean that I delete old emails aggressively), and unless I put files into a subdirectory in the oce-issues repo, I don't know where to look. I tried as below (guessing a filename from #1758) but got no hits.
find ~ -name 205413.AQD -print
Sent (again 😄 ). Filename is aqd9330.aqd

I'm commenting to keep this issue alive. I keep forgetting about it, sorry.
