WQ - Sample Ambient Sound

Purpose Samples ambient sound.
Format WQn
n = 0 (Off), 1 (On)
Range
Default WQ0
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description When WQ is set to 1, the H-ADCP samples RSSI before the water ping. WQ uses an 8-
meter blank and 8-meter depth cell before sending water-profiling pings.
WS – Depth Cell Size
Purpose Selects the volume of water for one measurement cell.
Format WSnnnn
Range See below
Default See below
300kHz 600kHz
Range 20 to 1600 cm 10 to 800 cm
Default WS800 WS400
Recommended Setting. Set using SurfaceView.
Description The H-ADCP collects data over a variable number of depth cells. WS sets the size of each
cell in vertical centimeters.
If you set WS to a value less than its minimum value or greater than its maximum value, the
H-ADCP will accept the entry, but uses the appropriate minimum or maximum value. For
example, if you enter WS0001 for a 300kHz system, the H-ADCP uses a value of 20 cm for WS.
Similarly, if you enter WS8000, the H-ADCP uses a value of 1600 cm for WS.

WT - Transmit Length

Purpose Selects a transmit length different from the depth cell length (cell sampling interval) as
set by the WS-command.
Format WTnnnn
nnnn = 0 to 3200 cm
Range
Default WT0
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description When WT is set to zero, the transmit signal is set to the depth cell size (WS-command).
This is the default setting. Setting WT allows selection of a transmit length different then
the area depth cell size (sampling length).
