Appendix I: Command Line Operation
SEASAVE has several command line parameters, for infrequently
used options:
Parameter Function
-autostart=
filename
Automatically start SEASAVE and data acquisition, saving data
to filename. Filename must include path and extension (.dat for
SBE 9plus; .hex for SBE 16, 16plus, 19, 19plus, 21, 25, or 31).
SEASAVE uses .con file and display setup from last saved
SEASAVE configuration (.cfg). This allows you to set up system
ahead of time, and then have an untrained operator start
acquisition without navigating through SEASAVE’s menus.
-diffd2 Add [(secondary sensor sigma-2) - (primary sensor sigma-2)]
to list of variables for display.
-pc Enable pump control for SBE 911plus from within SEASAVE.
Turn Pump On and Turn Pump Off selections in RealtimeData
menu remain grayed out if this parameter is not used.
-wsN Change time to wait for movement of magnetic switch from off
to on (for SBE 19, 19plus, and 25) from default 90 seconds to
N seconds. After you start real-time data acquisition, SEASAVE
waits up to N seconds for you to turn the instrument’s magnetic
switch on before timing out.
-ss Automatically start SEASAVE and data display, but do not save
data until user responds to save prompt. SEASAVE uses .con file
and display setup from last saved SEASAVE configuration
(.cfg). This allows you to view, but not save, data acquired
during soak time, eliminating the need to edit the data file later to
remove these scans.
-nmeatime For NMEA navigation device messages that contain time but not
date, this parameter affects NMEA UTC Time in data file header
and NMEA date/time in NMEA Data dialog box on screen
during dta acquisition. See description below.
Note: If specifying multiple parameters, insert a space between each parameter
in the list.
For the -nmeatime command line parameter:

• System Upload Time in the data
file header is always computer
time and date, regardless of
whether a NMEA navigation
device is transmitting data.
