S500 - Can we fix/set the number of samples resulted from profile_6t in chirp mode ?

Hello,

We are currently using your S500 product in our lab to make some tests using the ping-python library.

I saw in the documentation for the profile6_t:

> Reports a measure of signal strength at all depths within the ping range. This could be used to present a 'waterfall' type display similar to a commercial marine depth sounder or fish finder. The Cerulean SonarView app uses profile6_t to do just that. The native number of results reported for the profile6_t is 1024 for monotone pings. For chirp pings, the range resolution is affected by the 'decimation' field in the set_ping_params command. If decimation is set to 0, the device will vary decimation depending on range. The smallest decimation will be used that does not exceed 6000 reported data elements. Keep in mind the bandwidth of the communication channel in use when considering which profile report to use. For example, profile6_t can generate a lot of data, and is probably best used with the USB or Ethernet interface.

Is it possible to get more explanations on what's happening and if we have any way to fix/set the number of samples ?

La issue rimanda alla documentazione di profile6_t e al comando set_ping_params; inizia individuando questi riferimenti in ping-python e verificando come sono descritti la modalità chirp e il decimation. Il lavoro è completato quando viene documentato il motivo per cui il numero di campioni varia e se gli utenti possono impostarlo, insieme alle indicazioni d’uso pertinenti.
