Status information is displayed following a STS identifier as a list of XX=Value pairs. For example, in the
above STATUS command and response example, the XX=Value pairs are as follows:
DC =
Detection count
PC =
Ping count
LV =
Line Voltage in Volts
BV =
Battery Voltage in Volts
BU =
Battery used in percent
I
=
Current consumption in milliamps
T
=
Internal receiver temperature in Celsius
DU
=
Detection memory used in percent
RU
=
Raw memory used in percent
XYZ =
Tilt information in G’s as X.XX:Y.YY:Z.ZZ.
Note:
+1 on the X axis with 0 on the Y and Z axis indicates that the VR2C is vertical with the
hydrophone pointing upward
Note: The XYZ tilt information is only available on certain VR2C hardware versions
MODE =
The receiver mode will be reported as either RECORDING, STOPPED or STORAGE
(RECORDING in above example)
3.2.5.2.3 START
The START command is used to place the VR2C into RECORD mode. This command is issued to begin a
study.
Command:
*450088.0#25,START\r
Response:
*450088.0#25[0009],OK,#9A\r\n
3.2.5.2.4 STOP
The STOP command is used to temporarily stop (pause) the current study. It places the VR2C into PAUSE
mode during which time the receiver will not detect and store tag information. The VR2C automatically
returns from PAUSE to RECORD mode after 1 hour.
The STOP command can also be used to bring the receiver out of SUSPEND (Storage) mode. Again, after 1
hour the VR2C will automatically enter RECORD mode.
Command:
*450088.0#25,STOP\r
Response:
*450088.0#25[0009],OK,#9A\r\n
3.2.5.2.5 TIME=x
The TIME command is used to set the internal clock within the VR2C. Time can be entered as either UTC
or local time. If using local time, the time zone offset parameter (number of hours that local time differs
from UTC) must be specified after the time field. In the following local format example, the local time is 4
hours behind UTC (
-0400
).
UTC Format:
Command:
*450088.0#25,TIME=2010-10-18 21:32:13\r
Response:
*450088.0#25[0009],OK,#9A\r\n
