All Instrument Configuration dialog boxes include:
• List of instrument configuration options at the top (instrument-
specific), such as number of auxiliary channels, pressure sensor type,
and addition of Surface PAR and NMEA to the CTD data string.
• Channel/Sensor Table: This table reflects the options selected at the
top (for example, the number of voltage sensors listed in the table
agrees with the user-selection for External voltage channels). Shaded
sensors cannot be removed or changed to another type of sensor. All
others are optional.
¾ To change a sensor type and input its calibration coefficients:
After you specify the number of frequency and/or voltage
channels at the top of the dialog box, click a (non-shaded) sensor
and click Select to pick a different sensor for that channel
(or right click on the sensor and select Select New . . Sensor).
A dialog box with a list of sensors appears.
Double click on the desired sensor. The Calibration Coefficients
dialog box appears. An example is shown below for a pH sensor:
Enter the desired values and click OK.
¾ To change a sensor’s calibration coefficients:
In the Configuration dialog box, click a sensor and click Modify
to change the calibration coefficients for that sensor (or right
click on the sensor and select Modify . . Calibration, or double
click on the sensor). The Calibration Coefficients dialog box
appears (example shown above). See Section 4: Configure
Inputs, Part II - Calibration Coefficients for calculation
of coefficients.
