> [H-ADCP response to a valid, no-output command]
If you enter a valid command that produces output data, the H-ADCP executes the command, displays the
output data, and then redisplays the ">" prompt. Some examples of commands that produce output data
are ? (help menus), CS (start pinging), PS (system configuration data), and PA (run built-in tests).
If the command is not valid, the H-ADCP responds with an error message similar to the following.
>WPA<CR>
>WPA ERR 002: NUMBER EXPECTED<CR><LF>
>
After correctly entering all the commands for your application, you would send the CS-command to put
the H-ADCP into the ping mode and begin the data collection cycle.

Data Output Processing

After the H-ADCP completes a data collection cycle, it sends a block of data called a data ensemble. A data
ensemble consists of the data collected and averaged during the ensemble interval (see
semble). A data ensemble can contain header, leader, velocity, correlation magnitude, echo intensity, per-
cent good, and status data.
H-ADCP output data can be in either hexadecimal-ASCII (Hex-ASCII) or binary format (set by
Control). The Hex-ASCII mode is useful when you use a terminal to communicate with, and view data
from the H-ADCP. The binary mode is useful for high-speed communication with a computer program.
You would not use the binary mode to view data on a terminal because the terminal could interpret some
binary data as control codes.
When data collection begins, the H-ADCP uses the settings last entered (user settings) or the factory-
default settings. The same settings are used for the entire deployment.
The H-ADCP automatically stores the last set of commands used in RAM. The H-ADCP will continue to be
configured from RAM until it receives a CR-command or until the RAM loses its backup power. If the H-
ADCP receives a CR0 it will load into RAM the command set you last stored in non-volatile memory
(semi-permanent user settings) through the CK-command. If the H-ADCP receives a CR1, it will load into
RAM the factory default command set stored in ROM (permanent or factory settings).
