4.4. Run Commands (miniTIDE only)

M1 Performs continuous measurement at 1Hz
M2 Performs continuous measurement at 2Hz
M Performs continuous measurements at previously used rate
B1 Burst sampling pattern of 30 seconds / 1 minute
B2 Burst sampling pattern of 40 seconds / 5 minutes
B3 Burst sampling pattern of 40 seconds / 10 minutes
B4 Burst sampling pattern of 40 seconds / 15 minutes
B5 Burst sampling pattern of 60 seconds / 30 minutes

4.5. Pressure Units

#018;0 Pressure is output in dBar
#018;1 Pressure is output in metres, calculated using simplified UNESCO formula
#018;2 Pressure is output in feet, calculated using simplified UNESCO formula

4.6. Pressure Tare

#009; Takes a single reading of the pressure sensor and uses the measured value as a Tare
(note the ';' in the command)
#009;nn Sets the Pressure Tare to 'nn', a user specified value (entered in the chosen units as set
with command #018)
e.g: #009;10.3 sets Pressure Tare to 10.3 dBar metres or feet.
#010 Instrument responds with current Tare value

4.7. Site Information

Each data file may contain up to 58 characters of information about the deployment.
#037;info
Each file will use the same information until it is updated.
#038 Instrument responds with current site information
Sets the instrument deployment latitude in decimal degrees, for use in pressure / depth
#016;lat
