PCB –
Printed Circuit Board.
Scan –
One data sample containing temperature and conductivity, as well as
derived variables (salinity and sound velocity).
SBE 45 MicroTSG – High-accuracy conductivity and temperature monitor.
SBE Data Processing –
Sea-Bird’s Win 2000/XP data processing
software, which calculates temperature and conductivity,
as well as data from auxiliary sensors, and derives variables such as
salinity and sound velocity.
Seasave V7 –
Sea-Bird’s Windows 2000/XP software used to acquire,
convert, and display real-time or archived raw data.
SEASOFT V2– Sea-Bird’s complete Windows 2000/XP software package,
which includes software for communication, real-time data acquisition, and
data analysis and display. SEASOFT V2 includes
SEATERM , Seasave V7 ,
SBE Data Processing .
SEATERM –
Sea-Bird’s Win 95/98/NT/2000/XP terminal program used to
communicate with the MicroTSG. SEATERM can send commands to the
MicroTSG to provide status display, data acquisition setup, data display and
capture, and diagnostic tests.
Super O-Lube –
Silicone lubricant used to lubricate O-rings and O-ring
mating surfaces. Super O-Lube can be ordered from Sea-Bird, but should also
be available locally from distributors. Super O-Lube is manufactured by
Parker Hannifin (www.parker.com/ead/cm2.asp?cmid=3956).
TCXO –
Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator.
Triton X-100 –
Reagent grade non-ionic surfactant (detergent), used for
cleaning the conductivity cell. Triton can be ordered from Sea-Bird, but should
also be available locally from chemical supply or laboratory products
companies. Triton is manufactured by Mallinckrodt Baker (see
www.mallbaker.com/changecountry.asp?back=/Default.asp for local
distributors).
