1. User’s choice of depth cell size is not limited to the typical values specified.
2. Range, which depends on cell size, is specified here for High bandwidth mode at 5
°
C,
typical ocean backscatter and nominal 14 VDC battery power; longer ranges are possible.
Using 18 VDC will increase the range by 5 to 10% depending on conditions.
3. User selects the bandwidth mode; High = 25% or Low = 6%. High bandwidth mode single
water ping per ensemble standard deviation.
5. Table applies to Sentinel V and Sentinel V Real-Time ADCPs.
