TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
Temperature Compensation allows the operator to enable or disable tempera-
ture compensation. When this feature is enabled, the IRU-2XX4/3XX4 will make
adjustments for variations in temperature, which affects the speed of sound. This
will produce a more exact output.
To Read the Temperature Compensation in a sensor, use the command structure:
