Recover a Single File Using Direct Commands

Another option is to use direct commands to recover a single data file from the H-ADCP recorder. The
following command sequence should be used. Note it is assumed the user has applied power to the
H-ADCP and has setup the communications cable and baud rate properly with a host computer using
BBTalk.
Step Command/Action
1 Send Break
2 CR1
3 RR
4 RY##
5 Repeat step 4 to recover
another data file, or exit

This is a >100ms transition signal sent to the H-ADCP to wake it up. The response will be to
receive the H-ADCP wake-up banner followed by a prompt ">". Example:

This places the H-ADCP in factory default mode. The H-ADCP will respond confirming that it has
been reset to factory defaults, and outputting a prompt. Example:
>cr1
[Parameters set to FACTORY defaults]
>
The H-ADCP will display the recorder's contents.
The RY command will start the Y-Modem protocol routine. The ## selects the file number you
wish to recover. Find your file in the H-ADCP recorder contents display. Ignoring the volume
name, FORMAT, and DIR listings at the top of the directory, as well as data files containing 0
bytes, count down from the top (first non-zero) data file to your file. If you see that your file is
the fifth file in the recorder, use RY05.
Once you send the RY## command you will be prompted to select your recording directory path
to save the recorder data. When you click OK, the download will begin. When your file is down-
loaded, the BBTalk program will display "Recovery Complete".
The Y-Modem when complete will stop. You can recover another file or turn off power to the H-
ADCP (and exit BBTalk if you are using this program).
