30 ADVField Operation Manual (September 1, 2001)
Defaults or DEF
• Sets all ADV parameters to their factory default values.
• See the individual command descriptions for their default values.
Ver
• Reports the version number of the ADV’s CPU firmware.
DSPVer
• Reports the version number of the ADV’s DSP firmware.
BoardRev
• Reports the PC board revision of the ADV’s processing module (§4.1).
• Normally, all boards within the processing module have the same revision. Some systems
may use a combination of revisions. For these, the output reflects the CPU board revision.
SerNum
• Reports the serial number of the ADV probe configuration file stored in EEPROM memory.
This should match the serial number of the probe connected to the processing module.
•
CAUTION: If the incorrect probe configuration file is specified, velocity data will be invalid.
Boundary
• Reports the range from the ADV probe to a physical boundary (e.g., bottom, surface, wall).
• Boundaries can be detected within about 25 cm for the 16-MHz MicroADV probe, 45 cm
for the 10-MHz ADV probe, and 100 cm for the 5-MHz ADVOcean probe.
• Requires about two seconds to detect a boundary.
• Two values are returned, in cm: (1) distance from probe tip (i.e., acoustic transmitter) to
boundary, and (2) distance from center of sampling volume to boundary. If no boundary is
detected,
-100.00 is returned for both values.
•
CAUTION: Accurate boundary measurements require that the correct probe configuration file
has been loaded into the ADV; otherwise, the reported boundary values will be invalid.
Date [yy/mm/dd | yyyy/mm/dd]
• Without parameter: returns the date from the ADV’s real-time clock.
• When given with a date in a valid format, where yy = year (2 or 4 digits), mm = month (2
digits), and dd = day (2 digits): sets the clock date.
• Example:
Date 2001/09/08 or Date 01/09/08 are equivalent commands setting the
ADV’s real-time clock date to September 8, 2001.
Time [hh:mm:ss]
• Without parameter: returns the time from the ADV’s real-time clock.
• When given with a time in a valid format, where hh = hour (2 digits; 24-hour clock),
mm = minute (2 digits), and ss = seconds (2 digits): sets the clock time.
• Example:
Time 13:05:00 sets the ADV’s real-time clock to exactly 1:05 p.m.
PowerOff
• Puts the ADV into sleep mode (§3.1.4), where power consumption is less than 1 mW. The
system does not output any response to this command.
• The ADV will enter sleep mode if left idle in command mode more than 5 minutes.
• To avoid draining batteries, place the ADV in sleep mode whenever it is not in use.
