Bottom Track Commands 

The Pathfinder system uses these commands for bottom-tracking applications. Bottom track commands 

tell the Pathfinder to collect speed-over-bottom data and detected range-to-bottom data. If the Pathfinder 

were facing UP, all bottom-track information would apply to the surface boundary instead of the bottom 

boundary. The default state of bottom tracking is ON (BP1) for Pathfinders. To turn OFF the bottom-

tracking process, send a BP0 command. 

Available Bottom Track Commands 

This section lists the available Bottom Track commands.

BP  – Bottom-Track Pings per Ensemble 

Purpose 

Sets the number of bottom-track pings to average together in each data ensemble. 

Format 

BPnnn  

 

The BP command works only without the # sign.  

 

Range 

nnn = 0 to 999 pings  

Default 

BP001 

 

The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications. 

 

Description 

BP sets the number of bottom-track pings to average together in each ensemble before 

sending/recording bottom-track data. 

 

The Pathfinder interleaves bottom track pings with water track pings, if water-mass layer 

mode is enabled, and with Profile pings if water profiling is enabled. If BP = zero, the 

Pathfinder will not collect bottom track data or water track data. Also, the Pathfinder will not 

collect water profile data if WP=0, or if the water profile feature is not enabled (see 

TP – Time 

Between Pings

, 

WP – Pings Per Ensemble

 and 

BK - Water-Mass Layer Mode

).  

The Pathfinder automatically extends the ensemble interval (TE) if BP x TP > TE (see 

TE – Time 

Per Ensemble

).
