Description
.con
Instrument configuration - number and type of sensors, channel
assigned to each sensor, and calibration coefficients. SEASAVE
uses this information to interpret raw data from instrument.
Latest version of .con file for your instrument is supplied by Sea-
Bird when instrument is purchased, upgraded, or calibrated. If
you make changes to instrument (add or remove sensors,
recalibrate, etc.), you must update .con file. The .con file can be
viewed and/or modified in SEASAVE’s Configure Inputs on
Instrument Configuration tab (or in SBE Data Processing).
.dsa
SEASAVE display setup file – defines size, placement, and setup
for a display window. Information in .dsa file is also
incorporated into program setup (.psa) file. You can import and
export .dsa files, allowing you to create desired displays once
and then reuse them later for other instruments / deployments.
Even if you do not save display setup in a separate .dsa file,
changes in display are incorporated in .psa file next time you
save .psa file.
.psa
SEASAVE program setup file - all information entered in
Configure Inputs and Configure Outputs (instrument .con file
path and name, serial ports, water sampler, TCP/IP input and
output ports, serial data output, etc.) as well as size, placement,
and setup for each display window. The .psa file can be selected
and saved in SEASAVE’s File menu. Note that when you start
SEASAVE, it always opens to most recently used .psa file.
Seasave.ini (in Windows directory) contains a list of paths and
file names for most recently used .psa files. To view, click File
and select Recent Setup Files.
