Setup
Commands
(continued)
SetAvg=x
x
= number of measurements to take and
average per sample (1–64, or 1–32 for 1Hz
sampling);
default 2
. Each additional
measurement adds approximately 0.03 sec.
Increasing
SetAvg=
shortens sensor film
life and increases photo-bleaching effects.
Sea-Bird recommends SetAvg=2 for
best results,
to prevent calibration shifts
caused by film heating and photo
bleaching-effects.
SetAutoRun=x
x=0
: Wait for command when power
applied.
Default.
Required setting for use
with SBE 41 (Argo) CTD, SeaCATs
(16
plus
V2, 16
plus
-IM V2, 19
plus
V2),
and MicroCATs (37-SMP-ODO,
37-IMP-ODO, 37-SIP-ODO)
x=1
: Begin sampling when power applied.
First sample taken after
SetBootDelay=
.
*Default
Reset most Setup parameters to their
factory defaults (
SetFormat=
,
SetBootDelay=
,
SetInterval=
,
SetAvg=
,
SetAutoRun=
).
Note that baud (
SetBaud=
) is
not
reset.
Sampling
Commands
Start
or
Go
Start autonomous sampling immediately at
rate set by
SetInterval=
, and output data
in format defined by

•
SetAutoRun=0
, or
•
SetAutoRun=1
, and you
previously clicked Esc to
stop sampling.
To stop sampling:
•
Click Esc or send

OR
•
Remove power.
Stop
Stop autonomous sampling. Command
will not be echoed if autonomous sampling
is taking place. S> prompt appears to
signal that autonomous sampling has
stopped.
TS
Take
1
sample and transmit data in format
defined by
SetFormat=
.
TSR
Take
1
sample and transmit data in raw
format (for factory diagnostics).
Note:
To start autonomous sampling after
you send
SetAutoRun=1
:
•
turn power off and then on again, or
•
send
Start
or
Go
