Manual revision 016 Section 4: Deploying and Operating FastCAT SBE 49
23
Example 1: Autonomous Sampling Setup for AutoRun=N (user input in bold)
Apply power and wake up FastCAT. Set up to average every 4 samples, and output
data in raw hexadecimal format. Set up with a 60-second pump turn-on delay after
pump enters water to ensure pump is primed before turning on. Verify setup with
status command. Remove power.
(Apply power, then click Connect on Toolbar to wake up.)
S>NAVG=4
S>OUTPUTFORMAT=0
S>PUMPDELAY=60
S>AUTORUN=N
S>DS (to verify setup)
(Remove power.)
When ready to begin sampling:
(Apply power, then click Connect on Toolbar to wake up.)
S>START
(Put FastCAT in water, and allow to soak for at least time required for pump turn-
on (PUMPDELAY=60) before beginning cast.)
When cast is complete, stop sampling.
S>STOP
Example 2: Autonomous Sampling Setup for AutoRun=Y (user input in bold)
Apply power. Set up to average every 4 samples, and output data in raw
hexadecimal format. Set up with a 60-second pump turn-on delay after pump enters
water to ensure pump is primed before turning on. Set up to start sampling upon
power up. Verify setup with status command.
(Apply power, then click Connect on Toolbar to wake up.)
S>NAVG=4
S>OUTPUTFORMAT=0
S>PUMPDELAY=60
S>AUTORUN=Y
S>DS (to verify setup)
(Remove power.)
When ready to begin sampling:
(Apply power.)
(Put FastCAT in water, and allow to soak for at least time required for pump turn-
on (PumpDelay=60) before beginning cast.)
When cast is complete, remove power or send Stop to stop sampling (send
Stop if you want to view and/or modify FastCAT’s setup immediately after you
stop sampling).
Note:
Sea-Bird ships the
FastCAT with AutoRun=N
(it will not start sampling
when power is applied).
If you send AutoRun=Y,
turn power off and then on
again to start sampling, or
send Start.
