HB – Automatically Chosen Bins for Wave Processing
Purpose
Set the number of automatically chosen bins for doing Directional Wave Spectra.
Format

Range
n = 1 to 20 bins (n = 0 disables auto-bin selection)
Default
HB5
Recommended Setting.
The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description
Bins are selected consecutively starting below the “contaminated area.” If more than
three bins are selected, and there are sufficient bins in the column, a mid column beam
will be selected. If more than four bins are selected, and there are sufficient bins in the
column, the first bin will be selected.
HD – Waves Data Out
Purpose
Select the data output in the Waves Packet Structure.
Format
HD abc def ghi
Range
abc def ghi can be 1 (On) or 0 (Off).
Default
HD 111 000 000
Recommended Setting.
The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description
This command selects which data will be output in the waves packet data.
a – Velocity

HF – Waves Flow Control
Purpose
Sets various H-ADCP waves data flow-control parameters.
Format
HFnnnnn
Range
Firmware switches (Res;Res;Res;Ser;Rec) see Table 31
Default
HF00000
Recommended Setting.
The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description
The HF command is similar to the CF command (see
). When the HF
command is HF22222 (default), it uses the same settings as the CF command. The HF
and CF commands control if the data goes to the recorder and/or to the serial port. This
allows you to output Waves data (packets) independently from the standard water cur-
rent profiles.
