New Style SBE 9plus Configuration
• Surface PAR - Select if Surface
PAR sensor used; must agree
with ADDSPAR= command
programmed into Deck Unit.
Adds 2 channels to
Channel/Sensor table. Do not
decrease Voltage words
suppressed to reflect this; Voltage
words suppressed reflects only
external voltages going directly to
9plus from auxiliary sensors.
See Application Note 11S.
• NMEA - Select if NMEA
navigation device used. If
selected, SEASAVE automatically
adds current latitude, longitude,
and universal time code to data
header. Select NMEA (Lat/Lon)
Interface in SEASAVE’s Configure
menu to control how Lat/Lon data
is incorporated.
Click a sensor and click Modify
to view/change calibration
coefficients for that sensor.
Shaded sensors cannot be removed or
changed to another type; others are optional.
IEEE-448 or RS-232C for CTD data
interface between Deck Unit and com
p
uter.
For full rate (24 Hz) data, set to 1.
Example: If number of scans to
average=24, SEASAVE averages
24 scans, saving data to computer at
1 scan/second.
Channel/Sensor table reflects this choice. Voltage
channel 0 in .con file corresponds to sensor wired to
channel 0 on end cap connector, voltage channel 1 to
sensor wired to channel 1 on end cap connector, etc.
Total number of voltage words is 4; each word contains
data from two 12-bit A/D channels. Deck Unit and
SEARAM suppress words above highest numbered
voltage word used.
Words to suppress = 4 - Words to Keep
External Voltage Connector Words to Keep
(not spare)
0 or 1 AUX 1 1
2 or 3 AUX 2 2
4 or 5 AUX 3 3
6 or 7 AUX 4 4
Select to include time of each scan with data.
Channel/Sensor table reflects this
choice. Typically:
• 0 = SBE 3 or 4 plugged into JB5
on 9plus (dual redundant sensor
configuration)
• 1 = SBE 3 or 4 plugged into
JB4 on 9plus and not using JB5
connector (single redundant
sensor configuration)
• 2 = no redundant T or C sensors
Click a (non-shaded) sensor and click Select to pick a
different sensor for that channel; dialog box with list of
sensors appears. After sensor is selected, dialog box for
calibration coefficients appears. Select sensors after
Frequency channels suppressed and Voltage words
suppressed have been specified above.
New to create new
.con file for this CTD.
Open to select
different .con file.
Save or Save As to
save current .con file
settings.
Opens a .txt file (for viewing
and printing only; cannot be
modified) that shows all
parameters in .con file.
Click to exit dialog box. If you made changes
and did not Save or Save As, SEASAVE asks if
you want to save changes.
