Control System Commands
The Pathfinder uses the following commands to control certain system parameters.
Available Control System Commands
This section lists the available Control System commands.
>c?
Available Commands:
CB 811 -------------------- Serial Port Control {baud;parity;stop}
CE 1 ---------------------- Enable Ethernet [0 = OFF, 1 = ON]
CF 11110 ------------------ Set Ctrl Flags {e;p;b;s;*}
CK ------------------------ Save Command Parameters to Flash
CR ------------------------ Restore Cmd defaults [0=user,1=factory, 2=Eth parms]
CS ------------------------ Start Pinging
CT 0 ---------------------- Turnkey [0 = OFF, 1 = ON]
CX 0 0 65535 0---------- Set Input Trigger [mode, dly, timeout, ping-once]
CZ ------------------------ Put the ADCP to sleep
C? ------------------------ Display C-Command Menu
CB - Serial Port Control
Purpose Sets the RS-232/422 serial port communications parameters (Baud Rate/Parity/Stop
Bits).
Format CBnnn
Range nnn = baud rate, parity, stop bits (see description)
Default CB811
The Pathfinder defaults to CB811 (115200 baud) if this parameter has never been saved to non-volatile
memory. Otherwise, it uses the value last saved (i.e. the last time a CK command was issued).
Description The Pathfinder can be set to communicate at baud rates from 1200 to 115200 (see Chang-
ing the Pathfinder’s Baud Rate). The Pathfinder and the external device (dumb terminal,
computer software) MUST use the same communication parameters to talk to each other.
After entering a valid CB parameters, the Pathfinder responds with a “>” prompt. Then
change the external device’s communication parameters to match the Pathfinder parame-
ters before sending another command.
If a BREAK is sent before changing the external device’s communication parameters, the
Pathfinder returns to the communication parameters stored in non-volatile memory (user
settings).

Baud Rate Parity Stop Bits
1 = 1200 1 = None (Default) 1 = 1 Bit (Default)
2 = 2400 2 = Even 2 = 2 Bits
3 = 4800 3 = Odd
4 = Low (Space, logical 0)
5 = 19200 5 = High (Mark, logical 1)
6 = 38400
7 = 57600
