Bottom detection parameters
These parameters identify the bottom detector settings at the time of the latest transmission ("ping").
•  Type = The variant type as defined for certain programming languages
–  VT_BSTR = Text string
–  V_R8 = double, 8 bytes
–  VT_I4 = Integer 4 bytes
•  R/O = Read only
ProcessingMgr / Channels
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This parameter specifies which channels that are used on the transceivers. The list includes transceiver type, serial number and transducer name for each channel.     VT_BSTR
VT_ARRAY
Yes
Example: WBT 5197648-15 ES120-7C
ProcessingMgr / <ChannelID> / ChannelProcessingCommon / BottomDetectionActive
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This parameter specifies if the bottom detection is off or on. 0 = Off
1 =
  VT_I4 No
Example: 1
Since each channel can be presented in multiple views the values for Upper Detection Limit, Lower Detection Limit and Bottom Backstep must be defined individually.
•  ProcessingMgr / <ChannelID> / ChannelProcessingCommon / UpperDetectorLimit
•  ProcessingMgr / <ChannelID> / ChannelProcessingCommon / LowerDetectorLimit
•  ProcessingMgr / <ChannelID> / ChannelProcessingCommon / BottomBackstep
ProcessingMgr / <ChannelID> / ChannelProcessingCommon / UpperDetectorLimit
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This is the Minimum Depth setting used for bottom detection. <0,10000> m VT_R8 No
Example: 10
ProcessingMgr / <ChannelID> / ChannelProcessingCommon / LowerDetectorLimit
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This is the Maximum Depth setting used for bottom detection. <0,10000> m VT_R8 No
Example: 1000
ProcessingMgr / <ChannelID> / ChannelProcessingCommon / BottomBackstep
Description Range Unit Type R/O
This is the Bottom Backstep setting for the channel. <-100,10> dB VT_R8 No
Example: -50
