6. Display FastCAT status information by clicking Status on the Toolbar.
The display looks like this:
SBE 49 FastCAT V 1.3a SERIAL NO. 0055
number of scans to average = 1
pressure sensor = strain gauge, range = 1000.0
minimum cond freq = 3000, pump delay = 30 sec
start sampling on power up = no
output format = converted decimal
output salinity = no, output sound velocity = no
temperature advance = 0.0625 seconds
celltm alpha = 0.03
celltm tau = 7.0
real-time temperature and conductivity correction enabled for converted data
7. Command the FastCAT to take a sample by typing TS and pressing the
Enter key. The display looks like this (with converted decimal output
format, and no output salinity or sound velocity):
23.7658, 0.00019, 0.062
where 23.7658 = temperature in degrees Celsius
0.00019 = conductivity in S/m
0.062 = pressure in decibars
These numbers should be reasonable; i.e., room temperature, zero
conductivity, barometric pressure (gauge pressure).
The FastCAT is ready for programming and deployment.
