Melanie,

The required information is as follows:

Probe type/Manufacturer/Fall rate co-efficients A,B

T-4 Sippican 6.691, -0.00225
T-5 Sippican 6.828, -0.00182
T-7 Sippican 6.691, -0.00225
T-10 Sippican 6.301,-0.00216
Deep Blue Sippican 6.691, -0.00225

NOTE! The RAN is using T-4 fall rate for T-7 and Deep Blue probes. It will
be changed with the next MK12 software upgrade.

To calculate depth the RAN use formula Z=At+Bt2 where Bt2 = Bt square

I hope it helps.
Regards, Krystyna
