Bottom Track Command Descriptions
BP – Number of BT Pings
Purpose Sets the number of bottom-track pings to average together in each data ensemble.
Format BPnnn
Range nnn = 0 to 999 pings
Default BP001
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description BP sets the number of bottom-track pings to average together in each ensemble before
sending/recording bottom-track data.
The RiverPro/RioPro interleaves bottom-track pings with water-track pings (see TP
command). If BP = zero, the RiverPro/RioPro does not collect bottom-track data.
The RiverPro/RioPro automatically extends the ensemble interval (TE) if BP x TP > TE.
