EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
ER - Roll (Tilt 2)
Purpose
Sets the H-ADCP roll (tilt 2) angle.
Format
ER±nnnn
Range
±nnnn = -6000 to 6000 (-60.00 to +60.00 degrees)
Default
ER+0000
Recommended Setting.
Use the EZ-command.
Description
ER sets the H-ADCP roll (tilt 2) angle.
Example
Convert roll values of +14 and -3.5 to ER-command values.
ER = 14.00 × 100 = 1400 = ER1400 (+ is understood)
ER = -3.50 × 100 = -350 = ER-0350
If the EZ Roll field = one, the H-ADCP overrides the manually set ER value and uses roll from the
transducer’s internal tilt sensor. If the sensor is not available, the H-ADCP uses the manual ER
setting.
ES – Salinity
Purpose
Sets the water’s salinity value.
Format
ESnn
Range
nn = 0 to 40
Default
ES0
Recommended Setting.
Set using
SurfaceView
. The default setting for this command is recommended
for most applications.
Description
ES sets the water’s salinity value. The H-ADCP uses ES in its speed of sound calculations.
The H-ADCP assumes the speed of sound reading is taken at the transducer head.
ET - Temperature
Purpose
Sets the water’s temperature value.
Format
ET±nnnn
Range
±nnnn = -500 to 4000 (-5.00 C to +40.00 C)
Default
ET2500
Recommended Setting.
Use the EZ-command.
Description
ET sets the temperature value of the water. The H-ADCP uses ET in its speed of sound
calculations (see the primer). The H-ADCP assumes the speed of sound reading is taken
at the transducer head.
Example
Convert temperatures of +14 C and -3.5 C to ET-command values.
ET = 14.00 × 100 = 1400 = ET1400 (+ is understood)
ET = -3.50 × 100 = -350 = ET-0350
