BX – Maximum Tracking Depth
Purpose Sets the maximum tracking depth in bottom-track mode.
Format BXnnnn
Range nnnn = 10 to 65535 decimeters (meters x 10)
Default BX 00500
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description The BX-command sets the maximum tracking depth used by the RiverPro/RioPro during
bottom tracking. This prevents the RiverPro/RioPro from searching too long and too
deep for the bottom, allowing a faster ping rate when the RiverPro/RioPro loses track of
the bottom.
Example If the maximum depth in the deployment area is 20 meters (200 decimeters), set BX to a
value slightly larger than 200 dm, say 210 dm, instead of the default 500 dm. Now if the
RiverPro/RioPro loses track of the bottom, it will stop searching for the bottom at 210-
dm (21 m) rather than spend time searching down to 500-dm (50 m).
