PC - Built-In Tests
Purpose
Allow the user to view the values of sensor data used in Doppler processing and to iden-
tify the source of the data IDs.
Format
PCnnn
Range
nnn = 0, 2, 20, 4, 40, 5, 50
Description
PC0 displays the help menu. PC1 and PC3 are reserved for TRDI use. PC2 continuously
displays at approximately 1 sec update the current system temperature, pressure, depth,
heading, pitch and roll. The sensor ID corresponding to their source is displayed next to
each. Refer to the EY command for a list of sensors. The source of the data is assigned by
the EZ and the EY commands or internal logic if the primary sensor is not available. See
EY – Sensor Source Override for Doppler Parameters
for a description of that logic. PC4 dis-
plays the input power information.
Example
See below.
PC2 or PC20
The PC2 test updates the data inline using cursor commands, and the PC20 test performs the same test,
but output the data in a line-by-line fashion to accommodate terminals that do not properly support cur-
sor commands.
>pc2
Sensor data is sampled and displayed in a loop.
The number to the right of each backslash indicates the ID of the
sensor used for that data.
Press any key to exit the loop.

The transducer should be in water when running the PC2 test.
PC4 or PC40
The PC4 test updates the data inline using cursor commands, and the PC40 test performs the same test,
but output the data in a line-by-line fashion to accommodate terminals that do not properly support cur-
sor commands.
