When an addition or correction to the manual is needed, an Interim Change Notice (ICN) will
be posted to our web site on the Customer Service page (

check our web site often.
The Pathfinder DVL accepts command changes during operation without the need to stop the
ping cycle (by sending a <BREAK>). This allows for dynamic setup configuration without
stopping the operation of the Pathfinder DVL. These dynamic setup commands are defined in
the column
Dynamic Commands
in the table below.
