1. Date
2. Time
3. Target id
4. Lat long degrees. For example 20 degrees 30 minutes = 20.5000
5. Depth and altitude in system units. If the IPS system units are meters, then the units are in meters, otherwise they are in feet.
6. Altitude in system units. If the IPS system units are meters, then the units are in meters, otherwise they are in feet. If either the depth or altitude are invalid a -1 will be displayed in that field.
7. Course over ground (COG) [deg].
8. Speed over ground [knots].
9. Platform heading. Note the platform is the target ID. These values will not equal the USBL heading, roll pitch unless it is ship data. For example the platform could be an AUV, ROV Manned sub etc.
10. Platform roll.
11. Platform pitch.
12. Platform heave. If system units = meters => meters else feet.
13. Platform Attitude quality flag:

{ 0 PR PP PH PZ UR UP UH }
USBL HeadingValid = 1; { 00000001 }
USBL PitchValid = 2; { 00000010 }
USBL RollValid = 4; { 00000100 }
Platform HeaveValid = 8; { 00001000 }
Platform HeadingValid = 16; { 00010000 }
Platform PitchValid = 32; { 00100000 }
Platform RollValid = 64; { 01000000 }
14. USBL Heading,
15. USBL Roll
16. USBL Pitch
17. USBL quality flag (see above)
18. Sound velocity in m/s or feet/s
19. Position quality flag: ORE raw x,y,z [m] quality factor. If Ship (GPS) Number of satellites, GPS quality indicator (0 '?'none, 1' '-GPS, 2 'D'-DGPS, 3'P'-PPP mode fix valid, 4'R'-RTK Fixed, 5'F'-RTK float, 6'I'-Free inertial, DOP (dilution of precision), Age of differential GPS data [sec], Differential reference station ID 0000-1023.
