Status Display
The Status display provides the following information:
If SEASAVE is acquiring real-time data or playing archived data.
If SEASAVE is storing real-time data to a file; output data file name.
Instrument configuration (.con) file name.
In the Display menu, select Status. The Status Display appears just below
SEASAVE’s title bar and menus, and looks like this:
NMEA Display
If your system includes a NMEA navigational device, and NMEA has been
selected in the instrument configuration (.con) file, NMEA Display allows you
to view the latitude, longitude, and time during data acquisition, and to select
scans to be written to a .nav file. Each scan written to the .nav file contains
latitude, longitude, time, scan number, and pressure.
The source of the date and time information in the NMEA Display and in the
output data file header varies, depending on your NMEA navigational system:
NMEA data includes both time and date - both the NMEA Display and
the NMEA UTC Time in the output data file header show the NMEA date
and time.
NMEA data includes time but not date - the NMEA Displays shows the
NMEA time and the date from the computer, while the NMEA UTC Time
in the output data file header shows just the NMEA time.
NMEA data does not include date or time - both the NMEA Display
and the NMEA UTC Time in the output data file header contain
no date or time information.
In the Display menu, select NMEA. The NMEA Display looks like this:
See Adding NMEA Data to .nav File in Section 8: Real-Time Data and
Real-Time Control – Real-Time Data Acquisition.
.
Note:
System Upload Time in the data file
header is always the computer time
and date, regardless of whether a
NMEA navigation device is
transmitting data.
