ED – Depth of Transducer
Purpose
Sets the RiverPro/RioPro transducer depth.
Format
EDnnnnn
Range
nnnnn = 0 to 65535 decimeters (meters x 10)
Default
ED00000
Recommended Setting
. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description
ED sets the RiverPro/RioPro transducer depth. This measurement is taken from the wa-
ter level to the
center of the slant beam transducers. The RiverPro/RioPro uses ED in its
speed of sound calculations. The RiverPro/RioPro assumes the speed of sound reading is
taken at the transducer head. See the primer for information on speed of sound calcula-
tions.
Note
If the EZ Transducer Depth field = 1, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually set ED
value and uses depth from the internal pressure sensor. If a pressure sensor is not availa-
ble, the RiverPro/RioPro uses the manual ED setting.
EH – Heading
Purpose
Sets the RiverPro/RioPro heading angle.
Format
EHnnnnn
Range
nnnnn = 0 to 35999 (000.00 to 359.99 degrees)
Recommended Setting
. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description
EH sets the RiverPro/RioPro heading angle of beam 3. When mounted on a stationary
platform, the RiverPro/RioPro assumes beam 3 points north (0).
Example
Convert heading values of 34 and 3.5 to EH-command values.
EH = 34.00 × 100 = 3400 = EH03400
EH = 3.50 × 100 = 350 = EH00350
If the EZ Heading field = 1, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually set EH value and uses
heading from the transducer’s internal sensor. If the sensor is not available, the
RiverPro/RioPro uses the manual EH setting.
