EX / Coord
Transform
Contains the coordinate transformation processing parameters (
). These firmware switches indicate
how the Pathfinder collected data.
xxx00xxx = NO TRANSFORMATION (BEAM COORDINATES)
xxx01xxx = INSTRUMENT COORDINATES
xxx10xxx = SHIP COORDINATES
xxx11xxx = EARTH COORDINATES
xxxxx1xx = TILTS (PITCH AND ROLL) USED IN SHIP
OR EARTH TRANSFORMATION
xxxxxx1x = 3-BEAM SOLUTION USED IF ONE BEAM IS
BELOW THE CORRELATION THRESHOLD SET
BY THE WC-COMMAND
xxxxxxx1 = BIN MAPPING USED
53-56

EA / Heading
Alignment
Contains a correction factor for physical heading misalignment (
Scaling: LSD = 0.01 degree; Range = -179.99 to 180.00 degrees
57-60
29,30
#EV / Heading
Bias
Contains a correction factor for electrical/magnetic heading bias (
Scaling: LSD = 0.01 degree; Range = -179.99 to 180.00 degrees

EZ / Sensor
Source
Contains the selected source of environmental sensor data (
). These firmware switches indicate the following.
FIELD DESCRIPTION
1xxxxxxx = CALCULATES EC (SPEED OF SOUND) FROM
ED, ES, AND ET
x1xxxxxx = USES ED FROM DEPTH SENSOR
xx1xxxxx = USES EH FROM TRANSDUCER HEADING
SENSOR
xxx1xxxx = USES EP FROM TRANSDUCER PITCH SENSOR
xxxx1xxx = USES ER FROM TRANSDUCER ROLL SENSOR
xxxxx1xx = USES ES (SALINITY) FROM CONDUCTIVITY
SENSOR
xxxxxx1x = USES ET FROM TRANSDUCER TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
xxxxxxx1 = USES EU FROM TRANSDUCER TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
NOTE: If the field = 0, or if the sensor is not available, the Path-
finder uses the manual command setting. If the field = 1, the Path-
finder uses the reading from the internal sensor or an external syn-
chro sensor (only applicable to heading, roll, and pitch). Although a
“2” in the EZ-command string can be entered, the Pathfinder only
displays a 0 (manual) or 1 (int/ext sensor).

Sensor Avail
This field reflects which sensors are available. The bit pattern is the
same as listed for the EZ-command (above).

dis1 / Bin 1 dis-
tance
This field contains the distance to the middle of the first depth cell
(bin). This distance is a function of depth cell length (WS), the profil-
ing mode (WM), the blank after transmit distance (WF), and speed
of sound.
Scaling: LSD = 1 centimeter; Range = 0 to 65535 cm (2150 feet)
