EM – Disable Beam
Purpose Used to disable one of the ADCP’s beams.
Format
EM
n
Range
n
= 0 to 4 (0 = No beam suppressed, 1 to 4 = number of beam to suppress)
Default
EM0
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description Used to disable a beam that cannot provide useful information, for example, a beam that is
permanently obstructed. The disabled beam’s ensemble velocity output is set to
BAD, -32768 and the correlation and RSSI values are set to zero.
EP – Pitch (Tilt 1)
Purpose
Sets the Sentinel V Real-Time pitch (tilt 1) angle.
Format
EP±nnnn
Range
±nnnn = +-6000 1/100 degrees
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description EP sets the Sentinel V Real-Time pitch (tilt 1) angle.
Example
Convert pitch values of +14 and -3.5 to EP-command values.
EP = 14.00 × 100 = 1400 = EP01400 (+ is understood)
EP = -3.50 × 100 = -350 = EP-00350
If the EZ Pitch field = 1, the Sentinel V Real-Time overrides the manually set EP value and uses
pitch from the transducer’s internal tilt sensor. If the sensor is not available, the Sentinel V
Real-Time uses the manual EP setting.
ER – Roll (Tilt 2)
Purpose
Sets the Sentinel V Real-Time roll (tilt 2) angle.
Format
ER±nnnn
Range
±nnnn = +-6000 1/100 degrees
Recommended Setting. Use the EZ-command to default to the sensor module.
Description ER sets the Sentinel V Real-Time roll (tilt 2) angle.
Example
Convert roll values of +14 and -3.5 to ER-command values.
ER = 14.00 × 100 = 1400 = ER01400 (+ is understood)
ER = -3.50 × 100 = -350 = ER-00350
If the EZ Roll field = 1, the Sentinel V Real-Time overrides the manually set ER value and uses
roll from the transducer’s internal tilt sensor. If the sensor is not available, the Sentinel V
Real-Time uses the manual ER setting.
