The <Transducers> tag

The main structure includes a <Transducers> tag. The <Transducers> tag also includes one or more <Transducer/> tags, one for each transducer used on the EK80 system. The <Transducer/> attributes specify the type of transducer, how it is mounted, as well as its physical location in the vessel’s coordinate system.

Format

These are the attributes in the <Transducer/> tag. The attribute values are only included as examples.

<Transducers>

</Transducers>

•

AdcpBeamAngles consists of a list of angles in degrees. Each angle is separated by ";".Each angle represents the bearing of the transducer beams referenced to the z-axis.

•

AdcpBeamTilt is a single angle degrees. The angle represents the beam tilt and the tilt is the same for all beams in the transducer and it is referenced to the XY-plane.
