Section 9 Software reference
9.1 Sensor dashboards
The Dashboard is the main area from which to control and communicate with the sensor.
Information about the status of the sensor is contained in the upper part of the window
and is updated each time the sensor is connected to the software.
Common settings
• Connect/Disconnect lets the user start/stop communication between the sensor and
the software.
• Start/Stop lets the user start and stop data collection.
• Sensor Settings lets the user select options for a specific deployment.
• Deployment Wizard lets the user select a deployment mode, start time, and the
parameters to measure, estimate the deployment time and data collection interval,
and make a summary report of the status of the sensor.
• Transmit Files, Data lets the user move data saved on the sensor to a PC.
• Show Data from Sensor lets the user see data that was saved on a PC in a graph.
• Command Terminal lets the user send terminal program-level commands to the
sensor.
Sensor-specific settings
• SUNA: Reference Update lets the user update the reference spectrum stored in the
sensor so that the sensor can accurately convert a spectral measurement into nitrate
concentration.
• SUNA: Check wiper lets the user operate the anti-fouling wiper for one cycle.
• HydroCAT, HydroCAT-EP: Start Pumping operates the pump for 5 minutes if the
sensor is in water.
• HydroCAT, HydroCAT-EP: Conductivity Check lets the user verify that the
conductivity value that is output by the sensor is within specification.
• HydroCAT, HydroCAT-EP: Temperature Check lets the user enter reference
temperatures, collect data, and make new reference values.
• HydroCAT-EP: Optics Check lets the user verify that the optics values are within
specification.
• HydroCAT-EP: pH Calibration lets the user verify that the pH value is within
specification.
• ECO V2: Sleep puts the sensor in a low power mode (140µA).
• ECO V2: Run Data Analysis is a six-step wizard that lets the user do a QA/QC
analysis of data.
• ECO V2: Check Wiper lets the user operate the anti-fouling wiper for one cycle.
9.2 UCI menu
The user can set up the way that the software saves information about the operation of
the sensor and change the way that the data looks from the
Preferences menu.
9.2.1 General tab
Enter or change the directory on the PC in which data from the sensor is stored.
• "Maximum Wakeup Attempts" lets the user select the number of times the software
will try to connect to a sensor. Range: 5–15.
• "Response Timeout" is the interval of time between communication between the
sensor and the software. Range: 5–10.
