Recorder Modes
10.1
PC Mode
If the recorder is plugged into a PC computer with the communication cable, by
choosing the Recorder menu and the Connect command, the recorder is put into PC
Mode. At the bottom of the SeaStar window, the text On-line is displayed, indicating
that the recorder is on-line and in PC Mode.
While in PC Mode, the recorder will remain in an active listening stage. The
communication protocol is a simple master/slave arrangement, in which the recorder
is the slave. The slave will perform every command the PC issues, and after execution
of a command, it will return to listening.
10.2
Sleep Mode
The user receives the recorder in Sleep Mode, but it can easily be awakened by the
Connect command in the Recorder menu. The recorder is put into Sleep Mode when
the recorder is disconnected without putting it into Measurement Mode or by
choosing the Recorder menu and then Put Recorder in Sleep Mode. When the
recorder is in this mode, less power is depleted from the battery than in other modes.
In this case select Recorder > Disconnect.
10.3
Measurement Mode
The recorder is put into Measurement Mode by choosing the Recorder menu, and
Start New Measurements Sequence. The recorder starts recording measurements
according to the start time (date/month/year) and sampling interval (hours/min.)
defined by the user.
When the memory is full, the recorder shifts automatically into Sleep Mode. Upon
connection and command from the PC, the recorder is put into PC Mode.
