Turning Pump On / Off
SEASAVE allows you to manually turn a SBE 9plus’ pump on and off during
data acquisition, for a custom version of the 9plus. This may be useful if
your system is integrated with an acoustic instrument, to provide a quiet period
during its data acquisition. Note that although the same COM port is used to
operate a water sampler and to send pump control commands to the 9plus, the
manual pump control does not interfere with water sampler operation.
To manually turn the 9plus pump on / off:
1. Select Configure Inputs.
A. On the Instrument Configuration tab, open or create a configuration
(.con) file for the 911plus.
B. On the Pump Control tab, select Enable pump on/ pump off
commands.
C. On the Serial Ports tab, in the Water Sampling and 911 Pump Control
Serial Port section, select the COM port connected to the SBE 11plus
Deck Unit Modem Channel connector.
D. Click OK to exit Configure Inputs.
2. Set up the rest of the system and displays as desired.
3. Start real-time data acquisition.
4. When desired:
In the Real-Time Control menu, select Pump On or Pump Off, OR
Press Ctrl F2 (pump on) or Ctrl F4 (pump off).
