WM – Water Profiling Mode
Purpose
Selects the application-dependent profiling mode used by the Sentinel V Real-Time.
Format
WMnnnn
Range
nnnn = 2
Default
WM0002
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most
applications.
Description The WM command lets you select an application-dependent profiling mode. The chosen
mode selects the types of pings transmitted. The ping type depends on how much the wa-
ter-current is changing from ping-to-ping and from cell-to-cell.
WN – Number of Bins
Purpose
Sets the number of bins (depth cells) over which the Sentinel V Real-Time collects data.
Format
WNnnn
Range
nnn = 1 to 200 depth cells
Default
WN030
Recommended Setting. Set using
Plan
.
Description The range of the Sentinel V Real-Time is set by the number of depth cells (WN) times the
size of each depth cell (WS).
WP – Number of Pings
Purpose
Sets the number of pings to average in each data ensemble.
Format
WPnnn
Range
nnn = 0 to 999 pings
Default
WP060
Recommended Setting. Set using
Plan
.
Description WP sets the number of pings to average in each ensemble before sending/recording the
data.
1. If WP = zero the Sentinel V Real-Time does not collect water-profile data.
2. The Sentinel V Real-Time automatically extends the ensemble interval (TE) if WP x TP > TE.
