Pulse XML datagram

The Pulse XML datagram contains parameters for the transmit pulse. This is an XML datagram. The type is XML0.

Format

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

Example for echo sounder (ES):

<Pulse ChannelID="EC150 155567-15 EC150-3C - ES_ES"
	PulseGeneratorVersion=”1.09”>
	<ESPulses StartDelay=”1.26197e-05”>
		<Pulse1 StartTime="0"
			Spacing="0"
			PulseDuration="0.001024"
			Slope="2.66667e-05"
			Amplitude="0.6"
			BandWidth="0"
			FrequencyStart="150000"/>
			PSK2="0"
		/>
	</ESPulses>
</Pulses>

Description

The Pulse XML datagram is identified by the <Pulse> tag. The <Pulse> tag holds one of two filter type tags, <ESPulses> or <ADCPPulses>. Specific for ADCP there is one Pulse XML datagram for each beam,i.e. for four ADCP beams there will be four Pulse XML datagrams.

EC150 3C ADCP does not use these additional elements:

•

CorrelationLagInterval="0.0010222

Note

For EC150–3C ADCP there will be one separate datagram for each of the ADCP beams. These are named beam0, beam1, beam2, beam3. Do not interpret these as single beam echo sounder datagrams.
