Channel Master Operation Manual
P/N 95B-6001-00 (February 2006) page 49
>WP00001<CR> [Your original input]
> [Channel Master response to a valid, no-output command]
If you enter a valid command that produces output data, the Channel Master
executes the command, displays the output data, and then redisplays the “>”
prompt. Some examples of commands that produce output data are
? (help
menus), CS (start pinging), PS (system configuration data), and PA (run built-
in tests).
If the command is not valid, the Channel Master responds with an error
message similar to the following.
>WPA<CR> [Your input]
>WPA ERR 002: NUMBER EXPECTED<CR><LF> [Channel Master response]
>
After correctly entering all the commands for your application, you would
send the CS-command to begin the data collection cycle.
10.1.2 Data Output Processing
After the Channel Master completes a data collection cycle, it sends a block
of data called a data ensemble. A data ensemble consists of the data col-
lected and averaged during the ensemble interval (see “TE – Time Per En-
semble,” page 83). A data ensemble can contain header, leader, velocity,
correlation magnitude, echo intensity, percent good, status, surface track
fields, and firmware version data.
Channel Master output data can be in either hexadecimal-ASCII (Hex-
ASCII) or binary format (set by “CF – Flow Control,” page 54). The Hex-
ASCII mode is useful when you use a terminal to communicate with, and
view data from the Channel Master. The binary mode is useful for high-
speed communication with a computer program. You would not use the bi-
nary mode to view data on a terminal because the terminal could interpret
some binary data as control codes.
NOTE. WinHADCP supports PD0, PD14, and PD19 Output Data Formats
(see “PD – Data Stream Select,” page 77).
When data collection begins, the Channel Master uses the settings last en-
tered (user settings) or the factory-default settings. The same settings are
used for the entire deployment.
The Channel Master automatically stores the last set of commands used in
RAM. The Channel Master will continue to be configured from RAM until
it receives a CR-command or until the RAM loses its backup power. If the
Channel Master receives a CR0 it will load into RAM the command set you
last stored in non-volatile memory (semi-permanent user settings) through
the CK-command. If the Channel Master receives a CR1, it will load into
RAM the factory default command set stored in ROM (permanent or fac-
tory settings).
