MULTIP (Mulplier):
Sets the conversion Mulplier that will be applied to the sensor readings. The
default is 1000 (see note below) and typically does not need to be adjusted.
However, since the speed of sound is not constant through all environments,
the mulplier parameter allows the user to adjust for variaons in atmosphere
when maximum accuracy is required.
NOTE: the decimal place for the Mulplier is always assumed to be in the
thousands posion, therefore a seng of 1025 = 1.025 actual mulplier.
OFFSET (Oset):
Used to adjust the zero reference point of the sensor. When the Oset is set to
0, the zero reference of the sensor is at the face of the transducer. Seng the
Oset to a negave number will move the zero reference backward (behind the
sensor face), while a posive seng will move the reference forward (in front
of the sensor face).
T-COMP (Temperature Compensaon):
Used to enable or disable the internal temperature compensaon of the sen-
sor. Enabling the internal temperature compensaon can reduce the eects of
temperature changes by 50% or more, depending on the temperature gradient
through the sensing range.
