Old Style SBE 19 SEACAT Profiler Configuration
SEASAVE always treats the SBE 19 as if it is a Profiling instrument (i.e., it is
in Profiling mode). If your SBE 19 is in Moored Mode, you must treat it like
an SBE 16 (when setting up the .con file, select the SBE 16).
See reply from status command
(DS). Used to determine strain gauge
pressure sensor data format.
Number of 0.5 second intervals between
samples; used to compute time between
samples. SEASAVE uses this to calculate
elapsed time, if you select time as a parameter
for a display window. For calculation to be
correct, this entry must agree with number
programmed into SBE 19 with SR 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.
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 or Digiquartz with
or without temperature compensation.
Listing of channels at bottom of dialog box
reflects this choice. Must agree with number
programmed into SBE 19 with SVn (n=0, 2,
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 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.
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.
