Binary Bottom-Track Data Format
c: Commands output (see
Bottom Track Command Output Format
for a definition of this
data type)
h: High resolution bottom and water mass velocity and distance (note that this will cause

data type definition)

Navigation Parameters Data Format
for data type
definition.
Range:
0 or 1 for each digit
Default:

This command controls the data types that are output in the ensemble.

#BK - Water-Mass Layer Mode
Purpose
Selects the ping frequency of the water-mass layer ping
Format
#BKn
The BK commands work with or without the # sign. For example, using BK or #BK are both
valid commands.
Range
n = 0 to 3
Default
BK0
The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description
The BK command selects how often the Pathfinder performs a water-mass layer ping
while bottom tracking. The number of water-mass layer pings per ensemble is dependent
on the BP-command (see
BP – Bottom-Track Pings per Ensemble
) and this command
setting. Use the #BL-command to set the location of the water-mass layer (see
).
