EAR-Controlled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
EP – Pitch (Tilt 1)
Purpose
Sets the RiverPro/RioPro pitch (tilt 1) angle.
Format
EP±nnnn
Range
±nnnn = +-7000 1/100 degrees
Recommended Setting
. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description
EP sets the RiverPro/RioPro pitch (tilt 1) angle.
Example
Convert pitch values of +14 and -3.5 to EP-command values.
EP = 14.00 × 100 = 1400 = EP01400 (+ is understood)
EP = -3.50 × 100 = -350 = EP-00350
If the EZ Pitch field = 1, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually set EP value and uses
pitch from the transducer’s internal tilt sensor. If the sensor is not available, the
RiverPro/RioPro uses the manual EP setting.
ER – Roll (Tilt 2)
Purpose
Sets the RiverPro/RioPro roll (tilt 2) angle.
Format
ER±nnnn
Range
±nnnn = +-7000 1/100 degrees
Recommended Setting
. Use the EZ-command to default to the sensor module.
Description
ER sets the RiverPro/RioPro roll (tilt 2) angle.
Example
Convert roll values of +14 and -3.5 to ER-command values.
ER = 14.00 × 100 = 1400 = ER01400 (+ is understood)
ER = -3.50 × 100 = -350 = ER-00350
If the EZ Roll field = 1, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually set ER value and uses roll
from the transducer’s internal tilt sensor. If the sensor is not available, the RiverPro/RioPro
uses the manual ER setting.
ES – Salinity
Purpose
Sets the water’s salinity.
Format
ESnn
Range
nn = 0 to 45
Default
ES0
Recommended Setting
. Set using
WinRiver II
. The default setting for this command is recommended
for most applications.
Description
ES sets the water’s salinity. The RiverPro/RioPro uses ES in its speed of sound calcula-
tions. The RiverPro/RioPro assumes the speed of sound reading is taken at the trans-
ducer head.
