Configuring and Deploying the CTD-N
The CTD-N is configured and deployed in one of the four running modes: Continuous, Interval, De-
layed Start Continuous, or Delayed Start Interval. In addition, in all modes you can select to average
the data over the Average Time.
NOTE.
When selecting to average the data, the Average Time should be evenly divisible into
the Record Time.
Configuring and Deploying the CTD-N in Continuous Mode
To configure a CTD-N for deployment and to acquire and store data in Continuous mode:
1. If necessary, replace the battery pack in the CTD-N. See
structions on how to replace the battery pack.
NOTE.
Replacing the battery pack will not affect the instrument’s configuration, stored data,
or time and date settings.
