If you send a BREAK before changing the external device's communication parameters, the H-
ADCP returns to the communication parameters stored in non-volatile memory (user settings).

CF - Flow Control

Purpose Sets various H-ADCP data flow-control parameters.
Format CFnnnnn
Range Firmware switches (see description)
Default CF11110
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description The CF-command defines whether the H-ADCP: generates data ensembles automatically
or manually; generates pings immediately or manually; sends serial output data in binary
or Hex-ASCII format; sends or does not send output data to the serial interface; sends or
does not send data to the recorder (if installed).
Table 17: Flow Control
Command Description
CF1xxxx Automatic Ensemble Cycling – Automatically starts the next data collection cycle after the current cycle is completed. Only
a <BREAK> can stop this cycling.
CF0xxxx Manual Ensemble Cycling – Enters the STANDBY mode after transmission of the data ensemble, displays the ">" prompt
and waits for a new command.
CFx1xxx Automatic Ping Cycling – Pings immediately when ready.
CFx0xxx
Manual Ping Cycling – Sends a < character to signal ready to ping, and then waits to receive an <Enter> before pinging.
The <Enter> sent to the H-ADCP is not echoed. This feature lets you manually control ping timing within the ensemble.
CFxx1xx Binary Data Output – Sends the ensemble in binary format, if serial output is enabled (see below).
CFxx0xx Hex-ASCII Data Output – Sends the ensemble in readable hexadecimal-ASCII format, if serial output is enabled (see be-
low).
CFxxx1x Enable Serial Output – Sends the data ensemble out the RS-232/422 serial interface.
CFxxx0x Disable Serial Output – No ensemble data are sent out the RS-232/422 interface.
CFxxxx1 Enable Data Recorder – Records data ensembles on the recorder (if installed).
CFxxxx0 Disable Data Recorder – No data ensembles are recorded on the recorder.
Example CF01010 selects manual ensemble cycling, automatic ping cycling, Hex-ASCII data output, enables serial output, and disa-
bles data recording.
Not all data formats can be recorded. Carefully review the
the CF command to set the Serial Output and if the data recorder is on or off.
