System Requirements
Sea-Bird recommends the following minimum system requirements for
SEASOFT-Win32: Windows 2000 or later, 500 MHz processor, 256 MB
RAM, and 50 MB free disk space for installation.
Instruments Supported
SEASAVE supports the following Sea-Bird instruments:
• SBE 911plus and 917plus CTD system
• SBE 16plus and 16 SEACAT C-T (optional pressure) Recorder
• SBE 19plus and 19 SEACAT Profiler
• SBE 21 SEACAT Thermosalinograph
• SBE 25 SEALOGGER CTD
• SBE 45 MicroTSG Thermosalinograph
• SBE 49 FastCAT CTD Sensor
Additionally, SEASAVE supports many other sensors / instruments
interfacing with the instruments listed above, including Sea-Bird oxygen, pH,
and ORP sensors; SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler; and assorted equipment
from third party manufacturers.
Differences from SEASOFT-DOS
SEASOFT was previously available in a DOS version. Following are the
differences between SEASOFT-Win32 and SEASOFT-DOS, as they relate
to SEASAVE:
1. SEASOFT-Win32 includes several stand-alone programs; you can install
any or all of these programs as desired:
• SEASAVE - Windows-based SEASAVE replaces SEASAVE and
SEACON in SEASOFT-DOS
• SBE Data Processing - replaces the data processing programs and
SEACON in SEASOFT-DOS
• Terminal Programs - Windows-based terminal programs SEATERM
and SeatermAF replace the terminal programs in SEASOFT-DOS
(TERM1621, TERM17, TERM19, TERM25, TERM37, TERMAFM,
TERM11, and TMODEM).
• Plot39 - Windows-based plotting program for SBE 39 and 48 data.
2. SEASAVE output from an SBE 9plus CTD integrated with an
SBE 11plus Deck Unit (SBE 911plus) is a .hex file (was previously a
.dat file).
3. Serial ports COM1 through COM10 can be used.
4. An unlimited number of displays can be active on the desktop at once
(within the limitations of your computer’s resources). Displays can be
added, deleted, and modified without interrupting data acquisition.
5. Inputs from and outputs to a remote client via TCP/IP are supported.
6. Processing capability (for example, interfacing to additional auxiliary
sensors) added to our software after November 2000 has been added only
to the Windows version.
