New Style SBE 19plus SEACAT Profiler Configuration
Must agree with 19plus setup (MP command for
Profiling mode, MM command for Moored mode);
see reply from status command (DS).
Interval between scans in Moored
mode. SEASAVE uses this to calculate
elapsed time, if you select time as a
parameter for a display window.
Must agree with number programmed
into 19plus with SAMPLEINTERVAL=
command; see reply from status
command (DS).
• Surface PAR - Select if surface PAR
voltage added by deck unit. Selecting
Surface PAR voltage adds 2 channels
to Channel/Sensor table. Do not
increase External voltage channels to
reflect this; External voltage channels
reflects only external voltages going
directly to 19plus from auxiliary sensor.
See Application Note 47.
• NMEA - 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 (only selection applicable
to 19plus).
Click a (non-shaded) sensor and click Select to pick a different sensor for that channel. Dialog box with a list
of sensors appears. Select sensors after number of voltage channels have been specified above.
Click a sensor
and click Modify
to change
calibration
coefficients for
that sensor.
New to create new
.con file for this CTD.
Open to select
different .con file.
Save or Save As to
save current .con file
settings.
Opens a .txt file (for viewing
and printing only; cannot be
modified) that shows all
parameters in .con file.
Channel/Sensor table reflects this
choice (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4). Must agree
with number programmed into
19plus with VOLTn= commands
(n= 0, 1, 2, and 3); see reply from
status command (DS). Voltage channel
0 in .con file corresponds to first
external voltage in data stream, voltage
channel 1 to second external voltage in
data stream, etc.
Shaded sensors cannot be removed or changed to
another t
yp
e of senso
r
. All others are o
p
tional.
Click to exit dialog box. If you made changes and did
not Save or Save As, SEASAVE asks if you want to
save changes.
Number of samples to average (samples at 4 Hz)
in Profiling mode. Used to calculate elapsed time,
if you select time as a parameter for a display
window. Must agree with number programmed into
19plus with NAVG= command; see reply from
status command (DS).
