Timing Commands
The following commands let you set the timing of various profiling func-
tions.

ADFM Technical Manual (January 2000)
Sets the minimum interval between data collection cycles
(data ensembles).
TEhhmmssff
hh = 00 to 23 hours
mm = 00 to 59 minutes
ss = 00 to 59 seconds
ff = 00 to 99 hundredths of seconds
During the ensemble interval set by TE, the ADFM transmits
the number of pings set by BP and WP. If TP=0, the ADFM
pings as quickly as it can based on the time it takes to transmit
each ping plus the overhead that occurs during both ensemble
storage and output.
TE01153000 tells the ADFM to collect data ensembles every
1 hour, 15 minutes, 30 seconds.
Sets the time the ADFM wakes up to start data collection.
TFyymmddhhmmssff
yy = 00-99 years
mm = 01-12 month
dd = 01-31 day (leap years ARE accounted for)
hh = 00-23 hour
mm = 00-59 minute
ss = 00-59 second
ff = 00-99 hundredths of seconds
TF delays the start of data collection. This lets you deploy the
ADFM in STANDBY mode and have it automatically start
data collection at a preset time (typically used in battery oper-
ated instruments). When the command is given to the ADFM
to start pinging, TF is tested for validity. If valid, the ADFM
sets its alarm clock to TF, goes to sleep, and waits until time
TF before beginning the data collection process.
If you want the EXACT time of the first ping to be on No-
vember 23, 1994 at 1:37:15.00 pm, you would enter
TF94112313371500
. If you want the ADFM to begin pinging im-
