S

Seconds. This can be a decimal number to include a fraction of a
second.

T

Velocity East

Note:

If speed (V) is not specified, and velocity North

and East are specified, then speed is computed from the
velocity north and east.

U

Velocity North. Fish Speed = sqrt(T*T+U*U) * 1.9438445

Note:

If speed (V) is not specified, and velocity North

and East are specified, then speed is computed from the
velocity north and east.

V

Fish Speed (knots) — main speed used for image correction

W

Fish Depth in feet (if no manual depth is set)

Y

Year

Z

Benthos flag is set TRUE. Characters 121 132 (inclusive, zero-
based indexing) in the receive string are stored as downlink and
saturation information. The characters are then blanked-out to
prevent parsing errors.

a

Auxiliary Altitude (meters)

b

Temperature Frequency (CTD data)

e

Magnetometer X

g

Channel 1 Gain Code (0 255)

h

Fish Heading (degrees)

i

Current Line ID

j

Channel 2 Gain Code (0 255)

k

Channel 3 Gain Code (0 255)

l

[small letter “ell”] Layback (in meters)

m

Fish Speed. (m/s) (This value is multiplied by 1.9438445 to
become knots.)

n

Channel 4 Gain Code (0 255)

o

[small letter “oh”] Cable Out (in meters)

q

Channel 1 Initial Gain Code (0 255)

r

Channel 2 Initial Gain Code (0 255)

s

Speed log (knots) from impeller or other such sensor; stored only

t

Channel 3 Initial Gain Code (0 255)

u

Channel 4 Initial Gain Code (0 255)

v

Ship Speed (in knots; stored only)

w

Magnetometer Y

x

Ship Longitude (decimal degrees) or easting (meters); stored
