CS – Start Pinging (Go)
Purpose
Starts the data collection cycle (same as the
Tab
key in BBTalk).
Format
CS
Recommended Setting
. Use as needed. Use
WinRiver II
to create the command file. The CS command
will be added to the end of the command file or sent by the software.
Description
Use CS (or the
Tab
key in BBTalk) to tell the RiverPro/RioPro to start pinging its trans-
ducers and collecting data as programmed by the other commands. If the
TF command
is
set (time of first ping), the RiverPro/RioPro waits until it reaches the TF time before be-
ginning the data collection cycle.
1. After a CS command is sent to the RiverPro/RioPro, no changes to the commands can occur
until a <BREAK> is sent.
2. If the RiverPro/RioPro is set to record data (
) and the recorder is full, the
RiverPro/RioPro will
not
start pinging and will return a
RECORDER NOT READY
message.

Purpose
Displays the status of the RiverPro/RioPro.
Format
CState
Recommended Setting

oPro.

within 10 seconds after a break unless a valid command is received within that time. After
that, the RiverPro/RioPro will self-deploy when the activity timer (set by the
) period expires.
