Old Style SBE 16 SEACAT C-T Recorder Configuration
Time between scans. Used
to calculate elapsed time, if
you select time as a parameter for a
display window. For calculation to be
correct, this entry must agree with
number programmed into SBE 16
with SI command; see reply from
status command (DS).
Select strain gauge,
Digiquartz with or
without temperature
compensation, or no
pressure sensor.
See SBE 16 reply from
status command (DS). Used
to determine strain gauge
pressure sensor data format.
Listing of channels at bottom
of dialog box reflects this
choice (0, 1, or 2); typically 0.
Must agree with setup of
SBE 16; external frequency
channels were a custom
application for the SBE 16 -
see configuration sheet.
Click to modify list of
sensors (after number of
frequency channels and
voltage words have been
specified above). Data
Format Definition dialog box
with a list of sensors
appears. Select sensors.
Click to return to Examine / Change
Instrument Configuration File dialog
box. In that dialog box, click Change
Calibration Coefficients to view,
modify, or enter coefficients.
Listing of channels at bottom of dialog
box reflects this choice. Must agree
with number programmed into SBE 16
with SVn (n=0, 1, 2, 3, or 4) command;
see reply from status command (DS).
Voltage channel 0 in .con file
corresponds to sensor wired to channel
0 on end cap connector, voltage
channel 1 in .con file corresponds to
sensor wired to channel 1 on end cap
connector, etc.
Select if using with a deck
unit connected to a NMEA
navigation device. 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.
If None was selected for
pressure sensor type,
SEASAVE uses this pressure
in calculations that are a
function of pressure
(conductivity, salinity,
density, sound velocity, etc.).
