PD8 ASCII Output
The H-ADCP sends this data format only when the PD8 command is used. PD8 outputs ensemble data as
formatted text. A new-line character terminates each line. Two new-line characters terminate an ensem-
ble.
PD8 data is only for serial output. If you select PD8 and set the CF command to CFxxx01 (recorder on),
the H-ADCP will output PD8 ASCII data out the serial port and record PD0 data to the recorder card. You
can then use the PD0 data to troubleshoot any setup problems with the H-ADCP.

If all beams have good data, then direction and magnitude are output as well.
PD8 output data format can not be recorded – it must be output through the serial port only.
Do not use this output data format for a self-contained deployment.
