AML Sound speed datagram format
AML is a third-party proprietary datagram format created by AML Oceanographic (http://www.amloceanographic.com) for use with their sound velocity probes.
Note
The datagram format described here remains the property of the organization that defined it. If you need more information about this format, contact the owner.
The sound velocity probe output is configurable. The code is searching for a value between 1300 and 1800 and uses it as the sound speed.
The following input data formats are supported by the AML sound velocity probe:
