TC - Ensemble per Burst
Purpose
Sets the number of ensembles per burst.
Format
TCnnnnn
Range
0 to 65535 ensembles per burst
Default
TC0
Recommended Setting.
Special applications only.
Description
Setting TC to zero disables the burst mode (i.e., TB-command inactive). See the TB-
command for details on how these two commands interact.
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
Recommended Setting.
Set using
SurfaceView.
Description
During the ensemble interval set by TE, the H-ADCP transmits the number of pings set by
the WP-command. If TE = 00:00:00.00, the H-ADCP starts collecting the next ensemble
immediately after processing the previous ensemble.
Example
TE01:15:30.00 tells the H-ADCP to collect data ensembles every 1 hour, 15 minutes, 30
seconds.
1. The H-ADCP 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 H-ADCP wakes up to start data collection.
Format
TFyy/mm/dd, hh:mm:ss
Range
yy
= year
00 to 99
mm
= month 01 to 12
dd
= day
01 to 31 (leap years are accounted for)
hh
= hour
00 to 23
mm
= minute 00 to 59
ss
= second 00 to 59
Recommended Setting.
Set using
SurfaceView.
Description
TF delays the start of data collection. This lets you deploy the H-ADCP in the Standby
mode and have it automatically start data collection at a preset time (typically used in
