28
Status Command
DS Display operating status and
setup parameters.
Equivalent to Status on Toolbar.
List below includes, where applicable,
command used to modify parameter.
• firmware version, serial number
• number of scans to average [NAvg=]
• pressure sensor type and
range [PRange=]
• minimum conductivity frequency for
pump turn-on [MinCondFreq=] and
pump turn-on delay [PumpDelay=]
• start autonomous sampling
automatically when power applied
[AutoRun=]?
• output format [OutputFormat=]
• output salinity [OutputSal=] and
sound velocity [OutputSV=] with
each sample? (only if
OutputFormat=3)
• time to advance temperature to align
with conductivity [TAdvance=]
• conductivity cell thermal mass alpha
correction [Alpha=]
• conductivity cell thermal mass tau
correction [Tau=]
• enable real-time corrections
[ProcessRealTime=]?
Example: Status (DS) command (user input in bold; command used to modify parameter in parentheses)
S>DS
SBE 49 FastCAT V 1.3a SERIAL NO. 0055
number of scans to average = 1 [NAvg=]
pressure sensor = strain gauge, range = 1000.0 [PRange=]
minimum cond freq = 3000, pump delay = 30 sec [MinCondFreq=, PumpDelay=]
start sampling on power up = no [AutoRun=]
output format = converted decimal [OutputFormat=]
output salinity = yes, output sound velocity = yes [OutputSal=, OutputSV=]
temperature advance = 0.0625 seconds [TAdvance=]
celltm alpha = 0.03 [Alpha=]
celltm tau = 7.0 [Tau=]
real-time temperature and conductivity correction enabled for converted data [ProcessRealTime=]
Note:
If ProcessRealTime=Y but
OutputFormat=0 or 2 (output raw
hexadecimal or raw decimal data), the
status reply shows:
real-time temperature and
conductivity correction
enabled, not applied to raw
data,
and the FastCAT does not perform
real-time corrections.
