ST – Trigger Timeout
Purpose
Sets the amount of time the ADCP will wait to hear a synch pulse before proceeding on its
own.
Format
STnnnnn
Range
nnnnn = 0 to 10800 seconds (0 = no timeout)
Default
ST60
Recommended Setting. Special applications only.
Description ST sets the amount of time the ADCP will wait to hear a synch pulse before proceeding on
its own. If the ADCP times out, it will automatically ping according to the CF, TP, TE, WP,
and BP command settings. This is a fail-safe mechanism designed to allow the ADCP to
proceed on its own should communications with the synch pulse fail. Setting ST = 0 tells
the ADCP to wait indefinitely.
This command has no effect unless SM = 2
