Auto-adjustment is recommended only in bottom tracking
applications where interfering mid-water targets are present,
otherwise it should normally be disabled. Moreover, auto-
gain-adjustment should only be enabled by operators with a
complete understanding of the acoustics and the operating
conditions in which the altimeter will be used. It should not be
used in obstacle avoidance applications.
When controlled by an MS1000 PC, the auto-gain-adjustment
is disabled.
