PS3 – Instrument Transformation Matrix
PS3 sends information about the transducer beams. The Sentinel V Real-Time uses this information in its
coordinate-transformation calculations; for example, the output may look like this:
>ps3
Profiling Beams: 4
Janus Xdcr Type: Piston
Janus Beam Angle (deg) 25
Janus Beam Freq (Hz) 491520
Janus Beam Dia (mm) 0
Janus Beam Offset (mm) 0

If the Sentinel V Real-Time needs beam angle corrections, a TRDI calibrated beam angle matrix is loaded
into the instrument. This is done when the instrument is manufactured. For details, download a copy of
the Sentinel V Real-Time Coordinate Transformation booklet (at

).
PS5 - Health and Environment Monitoring Sensors
The PS5 command reports the value of HEM sensors: S1 (operating time), S2 (over-pressure count), S3
(maximum pressure seen), and S7 (total pressure cycles). The PS5 output will read N/A for the Maximum
pressure seen reading if no pressure was measured/recorded.
PS5
Operating time: 4327.5 hours
Maximum pressure seen: 652.378 dBar
Over-pressure events: 3
Pressure cycles: 25
PS6 – RSSI Calibration
PS6 displays the configured RSSI calibration data, scale and offset, for each beam.
>ps6
Rssi scale/offset:
B1=[1.000 0] B2=[1.000 0]
B3=[1.000 0] B4=[1.000 0]
B5=[1.000 0]
