Shown below is an example status (DS) response in SEATERM that
corresponds to the setup shown in the Configuration dialog box above. Shown
below the appropriate lines are the commands used in SEATERM to modify
the setup of parameters critical to use of the instrument with SEASAVE, as
well as any explanatory information.

vbatt = 9.6, vlith = 8.6, ioper = 61.2 ma,
ipump = 25.5 ma, iext01 = 76.2 ma, iext23 = 65.1 ma
status = not logging
number of scans to average = 1
(Scans to average [NAVG=] must match Scans to Average in .con file.)
samples = 0, free = 381300, casts = 0
mode = profile, minimum cond freq = 3000,
pump delay = 60 sec
(Mode [MP for profile or MM for moored] must match Mode in .con file.)
autorun = no, ignore magnetic switch = no
battery type = ALKALINE, battery cutoff = 7.3 volts
pressure sensor = strain gauge, range = 1000.0
(Pressure sensor [PTYPE=] must match Pressure sensor type in .con file.)
SBE 38 = no, Gas Tension Device = no
(RS-232 sensors (which are used for custom applications only) must be disabled to
use SEASAVE.)
Ext Volt 0 = yes, Ext Volt 1 = yes, Ext Volt 2 = yes,
Ext Volt 3 = yes
(Number of external voltage sensors enabled [VOLT0= through VOLT3=] must
match External voltage channels in .con file.)
echo commands = yes
output format = raw Hex
(Output format must be set to raw Hex [OUTPUTFORMAT=0] to acquire data in
SEASAVE.)
