Research direction
The issue points to the profile6_t documentation and the set_ping_params command; start by locating those references in ping-python and checking how chirp mode and decimation are described. Done means documenting why the sample count varies and whether users can set it, with relevant usage guidance.

Description
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 ?
