READ INTERNAL COEFFICIENTS  (Command ‘u’) 
 
Purpose: 
Returns one (or more contiguous) requested internal coefficient(s) in a specified  
 
 
internal coefficient array, and in the specified response data format.   
 
 
 
Command 
ufaacc[-cc]” 
 
‘u’  is the command letter. 
f’ is the format field. 
aa’ is the array index field. 
cc[-cc]’ is coefficient index [or contiguous range]. 
 
Response 
“ dddd.. dddd” 
 
dddd’ are the datum fields, each with leading space character. 
 
Description: The 1-character format field (f) is a single decimal digit that defines the format of  
 
each returned datum in the response. All datum ( dddd) fields returned will be  
 
preceded by a space character.  Most coefficients have a floating point datum  
 type 
(f=0-1), while others have an integer datum type (f=5).  Requesting an  
improper format will result in an “N08" error response.  Valid format types for 
coefficients are shown in the following table: 
 
converts each internal value from . . . 
max. char. 
0  single binary float 
to  7-10-digit signed decimal “ [-xxx]x.xxxxxx” 
13 
1  single binary float 
to  8-digit hex integer “ xxxxxxxx” 
5  long binary integer 
to  8-digit hex integer “ xxxxxxxx” 
 
 
 The 
2-character 
array index field (aa) is a hexadecimal value selecting a  
 
particular internal coefficient array.  The first array index (aa=01) refers to  
 
channel one’s transducer, the 16th (aa=10) refers to channel sixteen’s  
 
transducer. Finally, the last array (aa=11) refers to a special global array. 
 
  A single 2- character coefficient index field ( cc) is a hexadecimal value that  
  selects a particular coefficient within the specified array. Multiple contiguous  
  coefficients of the same type may be specified by using a coefficient index“range”  
  specified by adding a hyphen (negative sign) between two such indexes (cc-cc).   
 
 
 
The coefficients of internal DH200 transducers used in the Model 9116 are  
  selected 
with 
array indexes aa=01 through 10 (hex).  All valid coefficient indexes  
 
 
(for each of these arrays) are listed in the following table:
