Table 14: Recommended Commands
Command Choices Description
CR1 Sets factory defaults This is the first command sent to the DVL to place it in a “known” state.
CBxxx CB111 to CB811 Sets the baud rate from 1200 to 115200 baud. Recommended to leave at
default setting of 9600 baud (CB411) (see CB - Serial Port Control).
CF11110 See manual for descrip-
tion
Flow control - Recommended to leave at default setting of CF11110 (see
CF - Flow Control).
BP1 BP0 (off) to BP999 Sets the Bottom Track Pings Ping to once per ensemble. Recommended
to leave at default setting of BP1 (see BP – Bottom-Track Pings per En-
semble).
BX01100 600 kHz = BX1100 Sets the Maximum Tracking Depth to 110m for Pathfinder 600 (1100
decimeters) (see BX – Maximum Tracking Depth)
EA00000 EA-17999 to EA18000 Heading alignment uses beam-3 as the heading alignment. If the Path-
finder is rotated +45 degrees starboard (recommended alignment), set
EA to EA+45000 (see EA - Heading Alignment)
ED0000 ED0 to ED65535
Manually set depth of the transducer in decimeters. If a pressure sensor
is available, the ED-command will be used only if the depth sensor fails
(see ED - Depth of Transducer).
ES35 ES0 to ES40 Salinity of water is set to 35 (saltwater) (see ES – Salinity).
EX10111 Coordinates, Use Tilts, 3-
beam solution, bin map-
ping
Sets coordinate system, use tilts, allow 3-beam solutions, and allow
depth cell (bin) mapping (see EX – Coordinate Transformation).
EZ22000010 Sensor source
Calculate speed of sound from internal sensor readings (Temperature)
(see EZ - Sensor Source).
TE00:00:00.00 Time per ensemble Ping as fast as possible (see TE – Time Per Ensemble).
TP00:00.00 Time per ping Ping as fast as possible (see TP – Time Between Pings).
WP0 WP0 to WP16384
Water Profiling – The default setting WP0 will turn off water profiling
(see WP – Pings Per Ensemble).
WS0200 WS10 to WS400
Sets the depth cell size in cm. Recommended to leave at default setting
(see WS – Depth Cell Size).
WN030 WN1 to WN255
Sets the number of depth cells. Recommended to leave at default setting
of WN030 (see WN – Number of Depth Cells).
BKx BK0, BK1, BK2, BK3 This command selects the when the Water-Mass Layer ping will be used.
Recommended to send the BK0 (default) command to disable the Water-
Mass Layer (this also disables the #BL command) (see BK - Water-Mass
Layer Mode).
If the Water-Mass Layer pings need to be enabled, see the BK and #BL
commands.
#BLmmmm,nnnn,ffff Min, Near, Far layer
boundary
This command sets the Water-Mass Layer boundaries. Recommended to
leave at the default settings: #BL80,160,240 (see BL - Water-Mass Layer
Parameters).
#BJtc*hrn*** Bottom Data Types This command sets the Bottom Data Types that will be output. Recom-
mended to leave at the default setting #BJ100 000 000 (see BJ – Data
Type Output Control).
