>T?
Available Commands:
TE 00:00:00.00 ------------ Time Between Ensembles
TF --/--/--,--:--:-- ------ Set First Ping Time (yy/mm/dd,hh:mm:ss)
TP 00:00.00 --------------- Time Between Pings
TS 15/04/21,10:15:59.14 --- Set System Date and Time
TT 2015/04/21,10:15:59.14 - Set System Date and Time (4-digit year)

TE – Time Per Ensemble
Purpose
Sets the minimum interval between data collection cycles (data ensembles).
Format
TEhh:mm:ss.ff
Range
hh
= 00 to 23 hours
mm
= 00 to 59 minutes
ss
= 00 to 59 seconds
ff
= 00 to 99 hundredths of seconds
Default
TE00:00:00.00
Set as needed.
Description
During the ensemble interval set by TE, the Pathfinder transmits the number of pings set
by the WP-command (see
). If TE = 00:00:00.00, the Path-
finder starts collecting the next ensemble immediately after processing the previous en-
semble.
Example
TE01:15:30.00 tells the Pathfinder to collect data ensembles every 1 hour, 15 minutes, 30
seconds.
1. The Pathfinder automatically increases TE if (WP x TP > TE).
2. The time tag for each ensemble is the time of the first ping of that ensemble.
TF – Time of First Ping
Purpose
Sets the time the Pathfinder starts data collection.
Format
TFyy/mm/dd, hh:mm:ss
Range
yy
= year
00-99
mm
= month 01-12
dd
= day
01-31 (leap years are accounted for)
hh
= hour
00-23
mm
= minute 00-59
ss
= second 00-59
Description
The TF command delays the start of data collection. The Pathfinder can be deployed in
the Standby mode and have it automatically start data collection at a preset time. When
