Special Output Data Formats

The PD3, PD4, PD5, and PD6 commands select the desired DVL (speed log) output data format. PD8 is a
special ASCII output data format. PD14 is a condensed 2D output format for H-ADCPs only.
The DVL binary output data buffers can contain header, configuration, bottom-velocity, water-mass refer-
ence-layer, range to bottom, status, built-in test, sensor, and distance made good data (plus a checksum).
The H-ADCP collects all data in the output buffer during an ensemble.
Figure 55 through Figure 57 shows the format of these buffers and the sequence in which the H-ADCP
sends the data. Table 46 through Table 48 list the format, bytes, fields, scaling factors, and a detailed de-
scription of every item in the DVL binary output buffers.
The DVL output data formats are available with or without bottom-track. However, if bottom-
track is not available, they will contain no data.
The DVL output data formats assume that the bottom is stationary and that the H-ADCP or
vessel is moving. The PD0 Bottom Track output data format (see
Format) assumes that the instrument is stationary and the bottom is moving.
The H-ADCP uses these commands for "range" to boundary applications. The H-ADCP is NOT
designed for moving vessel Bottom Track applications.
