SBE 49 FastCAT Configuration
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.
SBE 49 FastCAT V 1.2 SERIAL NO. 0055
number of scans to average = 1
(Scans to average [NAVG=] must match Scans to average in .con file.)
pressure sensor = strain gauge, range = 1000.0
minimum cond freq = 3000, pump delay = 30 sec
start sampling on power up = yes
output format = raw HEX
(Output format must be set to raw Hex [OUTPUTFORMAT=0] to acquire data
in SEASAVE.)
temperature advance = 0.0625 seconds
celltm alpha = 0.03
celltm tau = 7.0
real-time temperature and conductivity correction disabled
Number of samples to average per scan. SBE 49 samples at 16 Hz
(0.0625 seconds), averages data, and transmits averaged data real-
time. Must agree with number programmed into SBE 49 with NAVG=
command; see reply from status command (DS).
