WSST Command

This command returns the static speed of sound and sonic temperature.
The command format is:

WSST CR LF

The command responds with a return string containing the measured
static speed of sound in knots with a tenth of a knot resolution, followed
by an ASCII TAB control character, then the corresponding sonic
temperature in degrees Fahrenheit with a tenth of a degree resolution.
The return string is terminated with an ASCII carriage return and then
line feed character. No descriptive text is included. The sonic
temperature is not compensated for the effects of humidity on the static
speed of sound. The static speed of sound output is a ten second running
average of individual static speed of sound measurements calculated
each second. The sensor calculates a new sonic temperature from this
running average of static speed of sound each second. The sensor
