<A>: DISPLAY ALL CHANNELS
This will initiate a display of all MER channels in calibrated units (see Figure 3.2). The display
will indicate the calibration constants, as well as the format (position of the decimal point) and
label (e.g., "Depth") that are specified in the calibration file. If frequency channels are available,
the temperature and conductivity channels will be displayed followed by the salinity and density
parameters.
The display will be updated as new records are read. To pause this display (and many others
in this program), press the <space bar>. When you want to resume updating the screen with
new readings, press the <space bar> again. Notice that the second line of the All Channels
Display contains the current record number. When you reach the end of the data file, the file
pointer will automatically be reset to the beginning record. You can return to the main program
menu at any time by pressing <ESC>, or you will be returned to the main menu automatically
when either the end of the file or a marked final record is reached.
This display, like all
numerical
(not graphics) displays in this program can be captured on paper
by pressing the <PRTSCRN> key, provided you have a printer connected.
Graphics
displays
may be captured with certain add-on programs.
