Retrieving and Displaying Data from the CTD-N

Data that are stored in the CTD-N can be downloaded file by file to your computer. Once down-

loaded, the data can be exported to a text or spreadsheet file for viewing and printing, or to

CTDPost for post processing. The data can also be viewed on graphs and the graphs printed and

saved. This section provides instructions on how to download and save data that are stored in the

CTD-N, and once saved, how to export the data for viewing, printing and processing. Instructions

are also provided on how to erase all the data in the instrument.

NOTE.

The CTD-N always records measured conductivity, temperature, and pressure, along

with calculated salinity and sound velocity, the date and time, the battery voltage, and the

optional external sensor data. In addition, when exporting data to a text or spreadsheet file,

or to CTDPost, you can choose to have CTDPro calculate additional parameters from the

measured parameters as described in

Exporting Saved Data

. The measured parameters, the

parameters calculated by the CTD-N and the parameters calculated by CTDPro are listed and

described in

APPENDIX A: Measured and Calculated Parameters

Downloading and Saving Data from the CTD-N

Data that are stored in the CTD-N can be downloaded file by file to your computer and saved as

CTD files, files with extension .ctd. Once downloaded, the data can be exported to a text or spread-

sheet file for viewing and printing, or to CTDPost for post processing.
To download data from a CTD-N:

1. Connect the CTD-N to your computer.

2. Choose Start

➤

All Programs

➤

RD Instruments

➤

CTDPro.

CTDPro starts and the CTDPro Main window opens.

3. Choose CTD

➤

Memory

➤

View Files.

If the CTD-N is currently logging data, a window opens asking if you want to stop logging:

4. Click Yes to stop data logging, or click No to continue.

If you click No, the window closes and data acquisition continues without interruption.
