Recorder Commands
The following paragraphs list all the ADFM recorder commands. Here is
the basic sequence for an ADFM deployment using the data recorder.
a. Use the RA, RB, and RS-commands to display the current number
of deployments stored in the recorder, to blank-check recorder
memory, and to check the free space available on the recorder.
b. If necessary (or desired), erase recorder memory (see RE-
command).
c. Set up the ADFM with the desired deployment parameters using the
commands listed in Appendix-C.
d. Set the CF-command to allow the recording of data (CFxxxx1).
e. Send the CS-command to start pinging (and data collection).
f. Deploy the ADFM.
g. Recover the ADFM when the deployment is complete.
h. Send a <BREAK> to stop pinging (and data collection).
i. Turn off data recording (CFxxxx0).
j. Use the RD-command to extract the data from the recorder. Send
RDx (x is the number of the deployment you want to retrieve).
There may be a slight delay before the prompt returns because the
ADFM is loading its buffer with the first ensemble.
k. Send the CS-command. Data ensembles for the selected deployment
will be output from the ADFM as if it were pinging.
RA - Number Of Deployments Recorded
Purpose:
Format:
Description:
Example:
RA = 003 ------------- NUMBER OF DEPLOYMENTS RECORDED
ADFM Technical Manual (January 2000)
Lists the number of deployments recorded on the data re-
corder.
RA
RA lists the number of deployments recorded on the data re-
corder.
>RA
The ADFM increments RA and uses it as the deployment
number starting with the first ensemble recorded after a
<BREAK> is sent. For the above example, if you set the
ADFM to record (CFxxxx1), then when pinging begins (CS-
command), the ADFM saves data to the recorder as deploy-
ment #4. If you use the MANUAL Ensemble Cycling mode
(CF0xxx1) to record data, the ADFM will continue to record
ensembles as deployment #4 until a <BREAK> is sent to the
ADFM; also, RA will retain its current value (3 here) until a
<BREAK> is sent.
