It is possible to configure the automatic behavior of a sensor after it’s identification strain
transmission. For example, a sensor may be configured to land at prompt and await further
commands, or alternatively may be configured to immediately stream data (the default behavior
described here). For sound velocity sensors (SV and SVT•Xchange), relevant commands are
listed in
Section 2.2 - Common Settings and Configuration .
2.1.4 Monitoring (Streaming) Data
To commence streaming data, send the monitor command:
>monitor
0000.000
0000.000
0000.000
0000.000
0000.000
0000.000
0000.000
0000.000
…
The instrument will stream measurements indefinitely until halted.
2.1.5 Applications of Automonitor
In some applications it is undesirable to have streaming data interrupted by receipt of any ASCII
character. For example, noise on a communication line may be inadvertently interpreted as a
character, halting sensor operation. In these cases, best practice is to configure the sensor to
automatically recommence data streaming after a period of inactivity when at prompt. This is
achieved using the command
set automon x , where ‘ x ’ is the elapsed time of inactivity in
milliseconds. For example, to configure a sensor to re-commence data streaming after 2
seconds of inactivity (when at prompt), send the following command:
>set automon 2000
>
0000.000
0000.000
0000.000
0000.000
...
In this configuration, if the instrument’s streaming data is halted (either deliberately or
inadvertently) then it will land at prompt, wait two seconds, then re-commence streaming. It is
recommended that this configuration be used for MBES applications.
Automonitor may be turned off by setting the period of inactivity to ‘0’: set automon 0 .
