ES – Salinity
Purpose
Sets the water’s salinity value.
Format
ESnn
The ES command work ONLY without the # sign.
Range
nn = 0 to 40
Default
ES35
The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description
The ES command sets the water’s salinity value. The Pathfinder uses ES in its speed of
sound calculations. The Pathfinder assumes the speed of sound reading is taken at the
transducer head.
ET - Temperature
Purpose
Sets the water’s temperature value.
Format
ET±nnnn
The ET command works with or without the # sign. For example, using ET or #ET are both
valid commands.
Range
±nnnn = -500 to 4000 (-5.00 C to +40.00 C)
Default
ET2100
Use the EZ-command (see
Description
ET sets the temperature value of the water. The Pathfinder uses ET in its speed of sound
calculations (see the primer). The Pathfinder assumes the speed of sound reading is taken
at the transducer head.
Example
Convert temperatures of +14 C and -3.5 C to ET-command values.
ET = 14.00 × 100 = 1400 = ET1400 (+ is understood)
ET = -3.50 × 100 = -350 = ET-0350
If the EZ Temperature field = one, the Pathfinder overrides the manually set ET value and uses
temperature from the transducer’s temperature sensor. If the sensor is not available, the
Pathfinder uses the manual ET setting.
