Warning

NEVER place the transducer close to the ear to listen for the clicks. Doing so

could result in permanent damage to the eardrum. Always remain at least 15cm

away from the transducer.

4.2. Data Stream Characteristics

The default Echosounder output communication characteristics are as follows:

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

• No flow control

Depending  on  the  hardware  setup  the  unit  will  either  output  a  0  result  or  the  maximum

possible result whenever a valid signal is not detected (i.e., fail low or fail high). These settings

are, respectively, 

Zero No Echo

 (

ZNE

) or 

Max No Echo

 (

MNE

).
