This is the pulse ramping for FM transmissions. 0 = Slow
1 = Fast
  VT_I4 No
Example: 1
TransceiverMgr / <ChannelID> / SampleInterval
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This is the sample interval. The sample rate is the average number of samples obtained in one second. The sample interval is 1/sample rate to allow readout in time (normally milliseconds). <0.000010 , 0.065535> s VT_R8 Yes
Example: 8e-06
TransceiverMgr / <ChannelID> / AbsorptionCofficient
Description Range Unit Type R/O

Example: 0.05
TransceiverMgr / <ChannelID> / SoundVelocity
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This parameter defines the sound speed. The value is used in the environment calculations. <1390,1700> m/s VT_R8 Yes
Example: 1483.9
TransceiverMgr / <ChannelID> / TransducerName
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This is the custom name of the transducer. The name is provided during the transducer installation in the EK80 user interface.     VT_BSTR Yes
Example: ES120-7C
TransceiverMgr / <ChannelID> / SerialNumber
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This is the serial number of the transducer in use on the current channel. The information assumes that you have typed in the serial number when you installed the transducer in the user interface.     VT_I4 Yes
Example: 191
TransceiverMgr / <ChannelID> / EquivalentBeamAngle
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This is the equivalent beam angle. It is commonly referred to as Equivalent 2-way beam angle. <-100,0> dB VT_R8 Yes
Example: -20.7
TransceiverMgr / <ChannelID> / AngleSensitivityAlongship
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This is the angle sensitivity in the alongship direction. <0,100> El.deg/
Mech.deg
VT_R8 Yes
Example: 23
TransceiverMgr / <ChannelID> / AngleSensitivityAthwartship
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This is the angle sensitivity in the athwartship direction. <0,100> El.deg/
Mech.deg
