10.8 Timing Commands
The following commands let you set the timing of various profiling func-
tions.
10.8.1 Standard Timing Commands
This section lists the most often used Timing commands.
TE – Time Per Ensemble
Purpose Sets the minimum interval between data collection cycles
(data ensembles).
Format TEhh:mm:ss.ff
Range hh = 00 to 23 hours
mm = 00 to 59 minutes
ss = 00 to 59 seconds
ff = 00 to 99 hundredths of seconds
Default TE00:00:01.00
Recommended Setting. Set using WinHADCP.
Description During the ensemble interval set by TE, the Channel Master
transmits the number of pings set by the WP-command. If TE
= 00:00:00.00, the Channel Master starts collecting the next
ensemble immediately after processing the previous ensemble.
Example TE01:15:30.00 tells the Channel Master to collect data en-
sembles every 1 hour, 15 minutes, 30 seconds.
Notes 1. The Channel Master automatically increases TE if
(WP x TP > TE).
2. The time tag for each ensemble is the time of the first ping
of that ensemble, not the time of output.
TP – Time Between Pings
Purpose Sets the minimum time between pings.
Format TPmm:ss.ff
Range mm = 00 to 59 minutes
ss = 00 to 59 seconds
ff = 00 to 99 hundredths of seconds
Default TP00:00.60
