Format Description
PD0 PD0 output is a binary output that is somewhat configurable via other commands (such as WD, BJ,
#EE), and can send all bottom track, water track, profile, and sensor data being collected by the
DVL. For a full description of the PD0 format, see PD0 Output Data Format.
PD4
PD4 Sends CSS-DVL output data structure (without sensor and made-good data). For a full descrip-
tion of the PD4 format, see Pathfinder Binary Data Format (PD4/PD5).
PD5 PD5 Sends CSS-DVL output data structure (with sensor and made-good data). For a full description
of the PD5 format, see Pathfinder Binary Data Format (PD5).
PD6 PD6 Sends an ASCII data stream containing bottom track and water layer velocity information for
all coordinate transformations. For a full description of the PD6 format, see Pathfinder Output Data
Format (PD6).
PD13
PD13 outputs similar to PD6, except it adds Pressure and Range-to-bottom for all four beams, and
omits System Health Monitor Data line. For a full description of the PD13 format, see Pathfinder
Output Data Format (PD13).
Most of TRDI’s software supports PD0 formatted data.
