DOWNLOAD INTERNAL COEFFICIENTS (Command ‘v’) 
 
Purpose:    Downloads one or more internal coefficients to the module.  
 
 
Command 
““vfaacc[-cc]dddd..dddd” 
 
‘v’  is the command letter. 
f’ is the format field. 
aa’ is the array index field. 
cc[-cc]’ is coefficient index [or contiguous range]. 
dddd’ are the datum field(s) each with a leading space
 
Response 
A” 
‘A’ is the acknowledge letter 
 
 Description: The 1-character format field (f) is a single decimal digit that defines the format of  
 
 
  each coefficient to be downloaded in the command’s datum ( dddd) fields, with  
 
 
  each datum 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). Sending  
 
 
  a datum in the improper format will result in an “N08" error response. Valid format  
 
 
  types  are shown in the following table: 
 
 
converts each internal value from . . . 
max. char. 
0  1-10-digit signed decimal “ [-xxx]x.[xxxxxx]” 
to 
single binary float  
13 
1  8-digit hex integer “ xxxxxxxx” 
to 
single binary float  
5  8-digit hex integer “ xxxxxxxx” 
to 
long binary integer 
 
 The 
2-character 
array index field (aa) is a hexadecimal value selecting a  
 
particular internal coefficient array to receive the downloaded data.  The first  
 
array index (aa=01) refers to channel 1's transducer, the 16th (aa=10) refers to  
 
channel 16's transducer. Finally, the last array (aa=11) refers to a special global  
 
array.   
 
  A single 1- or 2- character coefficient index field (c or cc) is a hexadecimal value  
  that selects a particular coefficient within the specified array. Multiple contiguous  
  coefficients may be specified by using a coefficient index “range” specified by  
  adding a hyphen (negative sign) between two such indexes.   
 
 
 
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:
