battery operated instruments). When the command is given to the H-ADCP to start
pinging, TF is tested for validity. If valid, the H-ADCP sets its alarm clock to TF, goes to
sleep, and waits until time TF before beginning the data collection process.
Example If you want the exact time of the first ping to be on November 23, 1992 at 1:37:15 pm, you
would enter TF92/11/23, 13:37:15. If you want the H-ADCP to begin pinging immediately
after receiving the CS-command (see notes), do not enter a TF-command value.
1. Although you may send a TF-command to the H-ADCP, you also must send the CS-command
before deploying the H-ADCP.
2. If the entry is not valid, the H-ADCP sends an error message and does not update the wake-
up time.
3. Sending a <BREAK> clears the TF time.

Description TG 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
battery operated instruments). When the command is given to the H-ADCP to start
pinging, TG is tested for validity. If valid, the H-ADCP sets its alarm clock to TG, goes to
sleep, and waits until time TG before beginning the data collection process.
Example If you want the exact time of the first ping to be on November 23, 2000 at 1:37:15 pm, you
would enter TG 2000/11/23, 13:37:15. If you want the H-ADCP to begin pinging immedi-
ately after receiving the CS-command (see notes), do not enter a TG -command value.
1. Although you may send a TG -command to the H-ADCP, you also must send the CS-command
before deploying the H-ADCP.
2. If the entry is not valid, the H-ADCP sends an error message and does not update the wake-
up time.
3. Sending a <BREAK> clears the TG time.
