3.5.1 Common Settings
The
Common Settings
are available as shown in
Figure 3-20
.
Mode: The communication protocol must be defined under “ Mode”. There are four different
choices:
• AiCaP
mode: If the sensor is going to be used on a SeaGuard, SeaGuardII or SmartGuard
Datalogger, the mode must be changed to AiCaP mode first and saved before connecting
it to the Datalogger.
• AADI Real-Time is the correct mode (protocol) when used together with AADI Real-Time
Collector. This is an xml-based protocol which includes more metadata in the data
messages. If the sensor is connected via RS-232 to the PC it is possible to configure the
sensor either it is set to AiCaP, AADI Real-Time or Smart Sensor Terminal, but it is not
possible to run and log data with AADI Real-Time Collector unless the sensor is set to
AADI Real-Time.
•
The
Smart Sensor Terminal
protocol is a simplified ASCII protocol which is easier to use
together with a PC terminal program. This protocol is described more detailed in
CHAPTER 5
.
• Smart Sensor Terminal FW2
is compatible with the older versions of Smart Sensor
Terminal. This is normally only used if you need an output string like an older version of the
sensor.
Notice that the sensor always must be reset when the protocol/mode has been changed.
Enable Sleep : This setting gives lower power consumption in AADI Real-Time and Smart Sensor
Terminal mode when the sensor is able to go to sleep between measurements.
