This is the system format; here you change the sound velocity output. 
Control U will increase from the default 1500 and Control D will decrease 
in increments of 10. When you are satisfied with the sound velocity, 
Control S will save. You would then Control F to reach your desired output 
format. Control S again and you are done.
