PS4 – Ping Sequence
PS4 sends an ASCII representation of the ping sequence generated by the
WP and VP commands (see “WP – Pings per Ensemble,” page 94, “VP –
Vertical Beam Number of Pings per Ensemble,” page 88 and “TP – Time
Between Pings,” page 85 for explanation of ping sequence). For example:
>PS4
Ping Sequence: WV
>WP?
WP 001 ------------------ Number of Pings
>VP?
VP 001 ------------------ Number of Pings per Ensemble (<100)
>PS4
Ping Sequence: WV
>WP5
>VP3
>PS4
Ping Sequence: W WV WV W WV
>WP3
>VP0
>PS4
Ping Sequence: W W W

Built In Tests
----------------
PT0 = Help
PT3 = Receive Path
NOTE: Add 100 for automatic test repeat
PT200 = All tests
PT3 - Receive Path
This test displays receive path characteristics. This test is for expert users.
The test is done once for each combination of high and low gain and high
and low bandwidth. Even though there are only three transducers, the
Channel Master contains electronics to support four beams. Beams 1 and 2
