ET – Temperature
Purpose
Sets the water’s temperature value.
Format
ET±nnnn
Range
±nnnn = -500 to 3500 (-5 to +35C)
Default
ET2100
Recommended Setting
. Use the EZ-command to default to the sensor module.
Description
ET sets the temperature value of the water. The RiverPro/RioPro uses ET in its speed of
sound calculations (see the primer). The RiverPro/RioPro assumes the speed of sound
reading is taken at the transducer head.
Example
Convert temperatures of +14 C and -3.5 C to ET-command values.
ET = 14.00 × 100 = 1400 = ET1400 (+ is understood)
ET = -3.50 × 100 = -350 = ET-0350
If the EZ Temperature field = one, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually set ET value
and uses temperature from the transducer’s temperature sensor. If the sensor is not
available, the RiverPro/RioPro uses the manual ET setting.
EU – System Orientation
Purpose
Sets the RiverPro/RioPro system orientation, up or down.
Format
EUn
Range
n = 1 (up), 0 (down)
Default
n = 0
Recommended Setting
. Use the EZ-command to default to the sensor module.
Description
EU sets the RiverPro/RioPro system orientation, up or down.
If the EZ Roll field is not zero, the RiverPro/RioPro overrides the manually set EU value and
uses orientation from the transducer’s internal tilt sensor. If the sensor is not available, the
RiverPro/RioPro uses the manual EU setting.
