Water Profiling Commands
These commands define the criteria used to collect the water-profile data.
Available Water Profiling Commands
This section lists the available Water Profiling commands.
>W?
Available Commands:
WA 050 -------------------- False Target Amplitude Threshold [0-255]

All water profile commands can be accessed without a leading '#' character. The descriptions
for WA, WC, WE, WJ, and WT commands are described in the
section.
WB – Bandwidth
Purpose
Sets the profiling bandwidth (sampling rate). Smaller bandwidths allow the Pathfinder to
profile farther, but the standard deviation is increased by as much as 2.5 times.
Format
WBn
Range
n = 0 (Wide), 1 (Narrow)
Default
WB1
The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
