Restore Command Defaults
Format Description
CR0
Loads into volatile memory the command set last stored in non-volatile memory (user settings) using
the CK Command.
CR1
Loads into volatile memory the factory default command set stored in ROM (factory settings).
CR keeps the present baud rate and does not change it to the value stored in non-volatile memory or ROM. This
ensures the Sentinel V Real-Time maintains communications with the computer.
CS – Start Pinging (Go)
Purpose
Starts the data collection cycle.
Format
CS
Recommended Setting. Use as needed. Use
Sentinel V RT Utilities
to create the command file. The CS
command will be added to the end of the command file or sent by the software.
Description Use CS to tell the Sentinel V Real-Time to start pinging its transducers and collecting data
as programmed by the other commands. If the
TF command
is set (time of first ping), the
Sentinel V Real-Time waits until it reaches the TF time before beginning the data collection
cycle.
After a CS command is sent to the Sentinel V Real-Time, no changes to the commands can occur until a <BREAK> is
sent.
CState – Pinging State Query
Purpose
Displays the status of the Sentinel V Real-Time.
Format
CState
Recommended Setting. Use as needed.
Description Displays either “Pinging” or “Not Pinging”, depending on the state of the Sentinel V Real-
Time.
