Using Direct Commands to Deploy

TRDI recommends that you use our software programs WinH-ADCP as your primary method of deploy-
ment. If this is not possible in your deployment then we strongly recommend that the commands
shown in Table 11 be the minimum commands you send to the instrument.
TRDI does not recommend the use of direct commands as your primary way of deploying H-
ADCPs as any incorrect command setting can have severe consequences to your data collection.
Table 11: ADCP Minimum Required Commands for Deployments
Command Description
CR1 This command will set your H-ADCP to a known factory default setting and must be your first command
Special commands here –after CR1 command and before any other commands
CFxxxxx This command will set your H-ADCP collection mode; binary, recorder, etc.
EAxxxxx This command will set your magnetic compass offset for true north
EDxxx This command will set your H-ADCP depth
ESxx This command will set your H-ADCP's expected salinity

commands you need for your deployment to be successful!
Your deployment may require additional commands and these commands can be sent after the
CR1 and any special commands but must be placed before the CK command.
