Distance transmitter to sampling volume

Hello everyone!

I want to know the exactly distance between the transmitter of my Vectrino and the middle of the sampling volume.

I read in the manual that the exact position is stored in Vectrino´s head configuration file. How can I reach this file?

Thank You!

Markus

Dear Markus,

You can retreive the exact position with the following procedure:

1. Open terminal emulator
2. Press the 'Log file...' button
3. Send the command 'GH' (Get Head Configuration)
4. Press the 'Stop logging' button
5. Open the log file in a binary editor. C6 (hex.) is the sampling volume. Convert the hex. value into a decimal value. 
6. Use formula [mm = 0.5*((1.5*n)^2 - (622.98))/(1.5*n-5.7)] to calculate the position.

It is a little bit difficult so we will extract and show the position in the next Vectrino software release!
