3.4.1.1.2. Waking up the ADCP

  1. Establishing Communication

After setting up the Port and Baud rate, and connecting to the port (to allow 2-way communication), you must wake up the instrument. By sending a BREAK to the instrument, and seeing the “Wakeup” message, you have established that the above settings are correct, the cable works, the instrument has power and can communicate.

RDI documentation will tell you to do these things with BBTALK but that is unnecessary. You have tk_terminal.py

Use the Commands menu item and choose Wakeup
