WD – Data Out
Purpose Selects the water profile data types included in a PD0
ensemble.
Format WD abcdefghi
Range Firmware switches (see description)
Default WD 111110000
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is
recommended for most applications.
Description The WD command uses firmware switches to tell the Channel
Master the types of velocity profile data and firmware version
data to include in a PD0 ensemble. PD0 ensembles always
contain a header, fixed and variable leader, and checksum.
a = Velocity d = Percent good g = Reserved
b = Correlation e = Status and Firmware Version h = Reserved
c = Echo Intensity f = Reserved I = Reserved
Example WD 111110000 (default) tells the Channel Master to include
velocity correlation, echo intensity, percent good, status, and
firmware version.
NOTES.
1. Each bit can have a value of one or zero. Setting a bit to one means
output data, zero means suppress data.
2. The WD command does not affect the contents of PD14, PD19, or
SDI-12 data.
3. IF WP = zero, the Channel Master does not collect water track data, and
therefore WD would only affect the firmware version output. No water
track data is included (see “WP – Pings per Ensemble,” page 94).
4. See the VD command for vertical beam data (see “VD – Vertical Beam
Data Out,” page 87).
5. If the Status bit is set to zero, this disables both the status data and the
firmware version (see “Firmware Version Data Format,” page 115).
