Manual revision 016 Section 4: Deploying and Operating FastCAT SBE 49

Polled Sampling

On command (TS), the FastCAT takes one sample and transmits the

data real-time.

The pump does not turn on automatically for polled sampling

(MinCondFreq= and PumpDelay= do not apply). To run the pump before

taking a sample, send PumpOn to turn the pump on before sending TS. Send

PumpOff to turn the pump off after taking the sample.

Example: Polled Sampling (user input in bold)

Apply power and wake up FastCAT. Set up to not start automatic

autonomous sampling when power is applied, to output data in

decimal engineering units format, and to output salinity and sound

velocity as well as conductivity, temperature, and pressure.

Verify setup with status command. Remove power.

(Apply power, then click Connect on Toolbar to wake up.)

When ready to take a sample, put FastCAT in water. Apply power

and wake up FastCAT. Command FastCAT to turn pump on, take

a sample, and turn pump off. Remove power. Repeat as desired.
