Notes:
The
DS
response contains similar
information as the combined
responses from
GetSD
and
GetCD
, but in a different format.
Lines describing what parameters
to output (temperature,
conductivity, pressure, salinity,
sound velocity, specific
conductivity, sample number) only
appear if they are enabled, and if
OutputFormat=1
or
2
. Raw output
(
OutputFormat=0
) is not affected
by enabling / disabling parameter
outputs.
The
DS
response is also affected
by the
Legacy=
command. See the
Output Format Setup commands
below.
