Let’s quickly check the major ADP components. On the SonUtils command line (small,
white area at bottom of screen), type in the word
TEST
and then press
<Enter>
. Depending
on the options installed in your system, you should see a display similar to the following.
> test
ADP SYSTEM TEST
CPU ROM ------------- OK
CPU RAM ------------- OK
DSP RAM ------------- OK
DSP COMPUTATIONS ---- OK
RECORDER ------------ OK
COMPASS ------------- OK

Now we will run a short deployment to ensure the transmit and receive circuitry is function-
ing. First, we need to enter some parameters to tell the ADP how long to ping (i.e., how fast
to collect and display data). Note that the parameters we are about to enter are not typical
parameters; we are only using them to quickly test the system. Enter the following four pa-
rameters (press
<Enter>
after each entry; upper, lower, or mixed case letters can be used).
> AvgInterval 5 (or you can use the shortcut of “ ai 5 ”)
OK (ADP’s acceptance response)
> ProfileInterval 5 (or “ pri 5 ”)
OK
>
Ncells 10 (or “ nc 10 ”)
OK
>
OutFormat ASCII (or “ of ascii ”; ensures output is not in binary)
OK

Type in
START
and press
<Enter>
. The system will begin to collect and display data every
five seconds for ten “range cells”. You should see a display similar to the following. At this
