SBE 9 was configured to
accept 0 to 5 volt
(manufactured after
February 1992) or -10 to
10 volt (before February
1992) inputs.
Listing of channels at bottom of dialog
box reflects this choice. Maximum
number of voltage words available is 4,
and each word contains data from two
12-bit A/D channels. SBE 11
suppresses words starting with highest
numbered word. Number of words to
keep is determined by highest
numbered external voltage input that is
not a spare: Words to suppress = 4 -

Click to modify list of sensors
(after number of frequency
channels and voltage words
have been specified above).
Data Format Definition dialog
box with a list of sensors
appears. Select sensors.
IEEE-488 (GPIB) or
RS-232C, based on how
SBE 11 is connected to
computer.
SBE 9 was available with 0, 1,
2, 3, or 4 voltage words.
Click to return to Examine / Change
Instrument Configuration File dialog
box. In that dialog box, click Change
Calibration Coefficients to view,
modify, or enter coefficients.
Select from standard or high resolution Digiquartz, with or without
temperature compensation, or strain gauge. If pressure sensor calibration
sheet contains only C, D, and T0 coefficients, you do not have temperature
compensation. If pressure sensor calibration sheet contains C1, C2, C3, D1,
T1, T2, and T3 coefficients, you do have temperature compensation. CTDs
manufactured after December 1988 included a high-resolution period
counter for pressure channel. If you have this option, configuration sheet will
indicate high-resolution pressure.
SBE 9 was available
with 3, 4, or 5
frequency channels.
