BATS AND PORTABLE BATS OPERATION
3-85
SLANT RANGE: The SLANT RANGE is the measured travel time between the hydrophone and the
transponder. It is only output in meters. The Slant Range is the actual measured slant range to the
transponder or responder. In transponder or responder mode no hydrophone offsets are applied to
the data. If in Pinger mode it is a calculated value with offsets applied if applicable. (See NOTE be-
low.)
SPEED OF SOUND: The SPEED OF SOUND is the entered value from either the keyboard or the
RS232.
TEMPERATURE: The TEMPERATURE is the value as measured at the Hydrophone by the temper-
ature sensor.
TELEMETRY DATA: The TELEMETRY data is independent of the position data. Its value is de-
pendent upon the parameters set under each target's menu. It is an instantaneous value. If telem-
etered DEPTH is selected for that target instead of telemetered DATA, the TELEMETRY number is
the instantaneous depth value, while Z is the averaged depth value used for positioning calcula-
tions.
