Hi @tonyp, welcome to the forum! 🙂

I’d suggest you have a read of [this thread](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/ping-sonar-range-setting-and-the-angle-definition/11686), then ask any follow-ups you’ve got beyond that 🙂

`transmit_duration` partly determines the effective resolution, and to some extent the return strength, but doesn’t have a direct impact on the actual scan range.
