NOTE
Downlink Port 1 continuously transmits downlink commands. If the Sound
Velocity Sensor receives this transmission, the uplink from the probe will
become corrupted. Make certain that the cable from the probe to the sonar
processor has only pin 5 (ground) and pin 2 (data) connected. The sonar
processor transmits the downlink on pin 3 and ground on pin 5.
