TC - Ensemble per Burst

Purpose Sets the number of ensembles per burst.
Format TCnnnnn
Range 0 to 65535 ensembles per burst
Default TC0
Recommended Setting. Special applications only.
Description Setting TC to zero disables the burst mode (i.e., TB-command inactive). See the TB-
command for details on how these two commands interact.
TE – Time per Ensemble
Purpose Sets the minimum interval between data collection cycles (data ensembles).
Format TEhh:mm:ss.ff
Range hh
mm
ss
ff
Default TE00:00:00.00
Recommended Setting. Set using SurfaceView.
Description During the ensemble interval set by TE, the H-ADCP transmits the number of pings set by
the WP-command. If TE = 00:00:00.00, the H-ADCP starts collecting the next ensemble
immediately after processing the previous ensemble.
Example TE01:15:30.00 tells the H-ADCP to collect data ensembles every 1 hour, 15 minutes, 30
seconds.
1. The H-ADCP automatically increases TE if (WP x TP > TE).
2. The time tag for each ensemble is the time of the first ping of that ensemble.
TF – Time of First Ping
Purpose Sets the time the H-ADCP wakes up to start data collection.
Format TFyy/mm/dd, hh:mm:ss
Range yy
mm
dd
hh
mm
ss
Recommended Setting. Set using SurfaceView.
Description TF delays the start of data collection. This lets you deploy the H-ADCP in the Standby
mode and have it automatically start data collection at a preset time (typically used in
