The data output message starts with MEASUREMENT followed by
between). The rest of the message is the output parameters which change from record to record. First there is a
State which gives information about different quality parameters per record and then ping count per record. After this
comes all the profile data. The
index 1000, column 2 with 2000 and column 3 with 3000. The highest cell index in column 1 is 1074 (cell 0 to 74), in
column 2 it is 2049 (cell 0 to 49) and in column 3 it is 3024 (cell 0 to 24). If the surface cell is enabled a cell index 0 is
also shown (treated as a column with 1 cell).
