Section 4: Configure Menu, Part II - Instrument .con File

All Instrument Configuration dialog boxes include:

• List of instrument configuration options at the top (instrument-

specific), such as number of auxiliary channels, pressure sensor type,

addition of Surface PAR and NMEA to the CTD data string.

• Channel/Sensor Table: This table reflects the options selected at the

top (for example, the number of voltage sensors listed in the table

agrees with the user-selection for External voltage channels). Shaded

sensors cannot be removed or changed to another type of sensor. All

others are optional.

! To change a sensor type and input its calibration coefficients:

After you specify the number of frequency and/or voltage

channels at the top of the dialog box, click a (non-shaded) sensor

and click Select to pick a different sensor for that channel. A

dialog box with a list of sensors appears.

Double click on the desired sensor. The Calibration Coefficients

dialog box appears. An example is shown below for a pH sensor:

Enter the desired values and click OK.

! To change a sensor’s calibration coefficients:

In the Configuration dialog box, click a sensor and click Modify

to change the calibration coefficients for that sensor (see

Section 5: Configure Menu, Part III - Calibration Coefficients).

The Calibration Coefficients dialog box appears (example

shown above).
