Roll is positive with port side up. Pitch is positive with bow up. Heave is positive up.
The definition of the attitude angles in this format is different from the Euler angles
definition used elsewhere. The difference appears in the roll angle, where:

The status byte can have the following values:
Value Interpretation
6 Normal.
7 Reduced performance or invalid data.
A.12 Echo sounder format 18, TSS1
This echo sounder format is a proprietary ASCII text format with fixed-length records
used when connecting Seapath to Seabeam and other echo sounders.
Format:
Element Columns Scaling Format
Header 1 - 7 :000000
Heave 9 - 13 1 cm sdddd
Warning 14 "F" or "f"
Roll 15 - 19 0.01 degree sdddd
Pitch 21 - 25 0.01 degree sdddd
Term 26 - 27 CR-LF
Heave is positive up. Roll is positive with port side up. Pitch is positive with bow up.
The zeroes in the header occupy the columns used for acceleration when this format is
output from other systems. Seapath does not output acceleration.
“s” is the sign character, space if positive and “-“ if negative. “dddd” is a decimal
number with leading zeroes where appropriate. The warning character is “F” if data are
normal, “f” if data are invalid or of reduced quality.
Columns between elements are filled with spaces.
The definition of the attitude angles in this format is different from the Euler angles
definition used elsewhere. The difference appears in the roll angle, where:
