CK – Save Command Parameters to Flash
Purpose
Stores present parameters to non-volatile memory.
Format
CK
Recommended Setting. Use as needed.
Description CK saves the present user command parameters to non-volatile memory on the CPU board.
The Sentinel V Real-Time maintains data stored in the non-volatile memory (user settings)
even if power is lost. It does not need a battery. Recall parameters stored in non-volatile
memory with the CR0-command (see
CR – Restore Command Defaults
).
Always use the CK command in the configuration files.
The Sentinel V Real-Time ADCP automatically stores the last set of commands used in RAM (volatile memory). The
user can store the configuration into non-volatile memory by sending a CK command. Note that the system will
restart in the previous configuration even if it was not saved with a CK command as long as the volatile memory’s
internal battery is not discharged. This can happen after several months without any power applied to the system
(Note that this battery will recharge as soon as power is reapplied). If the Sentinel V Real-Time is stopped by
removing the power while pinging, it will restart pinging and output data next time power is applied.
