New Style SBE 16 SEACAT C-T Recorder Configuration
Time between scans. Used to calculate
elapsed time, if you select time as a
parameter for a display window. Must
agree with number programmed into
SBE 16 with SI command; see reply
from status command (DS).
Select if using with a deck unit
connected to a NMEA navigation
device. If selected, SEASAVE
automatically adds current latitude,
longitude, and universal time code to
data header. Select NMEA (Lat/Lon)
Interface in SEASAVE’s Configure
menu to control how Lat/Lon data
is incorporated.
Select strain gauge, Digiquartz with or
without temperature compensation, or no
pressure sensor. If no pressure sensor or
Digiquartz without Temp Comp is selected,
Data button accesses a dialog box to input
additional parameter(s) needed to
process data.
Click a sensor

to change
calibration
coefficients for
that sensor.

Opens a .txt file (for viewing and
printing only; cannot be modified) that
shows all parameters in .con file.

Used to determine strain gauge
pressure sensor data format.
Channel/Sensor table reflects this
choice. Must agree with number
programmed into SBE 16 with SVn
(n=0, 1, 2, 3, or 4) command; see reply
from status command (DS). Voltage
channel 0 in .con file corresponds to
sensor wired to channel 0 on end cap
connector, voltage channel 1 in .con
file corresponds to sensor wired to
channel 1 on end cap connector, etc.
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. Select sensors after number
of voltage channels have been specified above.
