SamplesPerBurst or SPB [d] [d] [d]
• Default parameters: 1200 0 0
• Parameter range:
1 to 32000
• Without parameter: returns its current settings for each burst type.
• When used with from one to three valid parameters, sets the number of samples per burst for
each burst type. See §1.3 for a description of burst sampling.
• For autonomous deployments, the ADVField supports up to three samples per burst values
for three burst types. Samples per burst are not used during real-time data collection.
• To select multiple-burst sampling, enter a separate samples-per-burst for each burst type de-
sired. Example:
SPB 24 600 7500 sets the samples per burst for burst type #1 to 24, for
burst type #2 to 600, for burst type #3 to 7500. If only one or two input arguments are speci-
fied, the values for the other burst types are set to 0, disabling that burst type.
RecordAmpCorr [YES|NO] [YES|NO] [YES|NO]
• Default parameters: YES YES YES
• Without parameter: returns its current settings for each burst type.
• When used with from one to three valid parameters, tells the ADV whether to record ampli-
tude and correlation data. See §1.3 for a description of burst sampling.
○
YES tells the ADV to record amplitude and correlation data for each receiver with each
sample for the selected burst types.
YES increases the size of each sample by 4 bytes.
○
NO tells the ADV to record only the mean amplitude (from all 3 receivers) and the mean
correlation (from all 3 receivers) with each sample for the selected burst types.
• This parameter is used only in deployment mode; it has no affect on real-time data collection.
• If only one or two input arguments are specified, it does not change the settings for the non-
specified burst types.
• Appendix 2 has a description of the data recorded based on the
Record command settings.
RecordCompass [YES|NO] [YES|NO] [YES|NO]
• Default parameters:
○ No
compass/tilt sensor installed: NO NO NO
○ With compass/tile sensor installed:
YES YES YES
• Without parameter: returns its current settings for each burst type.
• When used with from one to three valid parameters, tells the ADV whether to record com-
pass/tilt sensor data. See §1.3 for a description of burst sampling.
○
YES tells the ADV to record compass/tilt sensor data (heading, pitch, roll) for each veloc-
ity sample for the selected burst types.
YES increases the size of each sample by 6 bytes.
○
NO tells the ADV not to record compass/tilt sensor data for the selected burst types.
○ Regardless of this setting, the ADV will always record velocity data in either XYZ or
ENU coordinates based on the setting of the
CoordSystem setup parameter (see §3.6).
• This parameter is used only in deployment mode; it has no affect on real-time data collection.
• If only one or two input arguments are specified, it does not change the settings for the non-
specified burst types.
• Appendix 2 has a description of the data recorded based on the
Record command settings.
