Parameters
P654 Sound Velocity at 20
o
C
This value is used to automatically calculate Sound Velocity (P653).
After performing a sound Velocity Calibration, check this value to verify the acoustic
beam atmosphere in air (344.1 m/s or 1129 ft/s).
Temperature Compensation (P660 to P664)
P660 Temperature source
Determines the source of the temperature reading used for calculating speed of sound.
P661 Temperature fixed
Defines the fixed temperature (in
o
C) used for calculating speed of sound if P660 is set to
2 (fixed temperature).
Use this function when you want to manually override the temperature sensor with a
fixed temperature value.
• Set P660 to 2.
• Enter the fixed temperature value you want to use in place of the sensor
temperature.
