The transponder is ready for use.

Cymbal protocol

Cymbal is the acoustic protocol used both for positioning of subsea transponders in
SSBL/LBL mod and data communication to and from transponders. It uses Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signals.

The wide band carrier frequency of 12.8 kHz has 56 unique codes; L01 to L56.
