Ping Synchronization Commands

The Teledyne RD Instruments Sleepy Sensor Synchronization (TRDS
synchronize measurements with another H-ADCP or any other instrument that adheres to the RDS
specification.

Available Ping Synchronization Commands

>s?
SA = 001 ----------------- Synch Before/After Ping/Ensemble Bottom/Water/Both
SB = 1 ------------------- Enable Channel B Breaks (1=YES,0=NO)
SI = 00000 --------------- Synch Interval (0-65535)
SM = 0 ------------------- Mode Select (0=OFF,1=MASTER,2=SLAVE,3=NEMO)
SS = 0 ------------------- RDS3 Sleep Mode (0=No Sleep)
ST = 00000 --------------- Slave Timeout (seconds,0=indefinite)
SW = 00000 --------------- Synch Delay (1/10 msec)

To see the S commands as listed above, the Experton command must be used (see
Mode).

Ping Synchronization Command Descriptions

SA - Synchronize Before/After Ping/Ensemble

Purpose Sets the rough timing of the synchronization pulse.
Format SAxyz
x = 0, 1
Range
y = 0, 1
z = 0, 1, 2
Default SA001
Recommended Setting. Special applications only.
This command has no effect unless SM = 1 or 2.
Description Use the SA command to set the rough timing of the synchronization pulse. The first pa-
rameter determines whether the Master (or Slave) will send (or wait for) a synchroniza-
tion pulse before or after the conditions set in parameters y and z. If the second parame-
ter is set to Ping, the third parameter determines what kind of ping to synchronize on. If
parameter y is set to Ensemble, the third parameter is ignored (but must still be entered).
