1.7.3 System Configuration
This group is used to control the sensor via properties for configuring communication with logger, sensor setup and
parameter enabling and controlling the output from sensor. Some of the properties are only visible depending on the
mode selected or if the function is enabled or not. These properties will either be grey or not visible at all.

Mode ENUM 1
Sets the sensor operation mode (AiCaP, Smart Sensor Terminal,
AADI Real-Time and AIS Output). AiCaP is a CAN bus output only
used with Aanderaa loggers, Smart Sensor Terminal is an ASCII
output, AADI Real-Time is a XML output and AIS Output is a special
NMEA output used when connected to an AIS transmitter.
SC

Low
Enable Sleep BOOL 1
Enables sleep mode in Smart Sensor Terminal and AADI Real-Time
operation to save power (In AiCaP the sensor always tries to sleep
when not busy). Default is ‘Yes’
Enable Polled
Mode
BOOL 1
Enables polled mode in Smart Sensor Terminal Mode. When set to
‘no’ the sensor will sample at the interval given by the Interval
property. When set to ‘yes’ the sensor will start measurements at the
time of power up. A Do Sample command triggers the end calculations
and output of data. A Do Output command will repeat the output of the
last calculated data
.
Default is ‘No’
Enable Text BOOL 1 Controls the insertion of descriptive text in Smart Sensor Terminal
mode, i.e. parameter names and units. Used to reduce message size.
Enable
Decimalformat
BOOL 1 Controls the use of decimal format in the output string in Smart Sensor
Terminal mode. Default is scientific format (exponential format).
Water Depth Float 1 Water Depth surface to sea bed. [m]
No /
No
Gravity Float 1 Local Gravity constant [m/s
2
], default value are 9.81
High Frequency
Limit (Hz)
Float 1 Lower cut-off frequency in Hz. The default value is 0.7Hz= 1/0.7 = 1.42
second, this is also equal to the lowest wave period we can measure.
Low Frequency
Limit (Hz)
Float 1
Higher cut-off frequency in Hz. The default value is 0.03333Hz =
1/0.3333 = 30 seconds. The range is maximum 33 seconds =
0.03030Hz, this is also equal to the highest wave period the sensor
can measure.
Wave
Integration Time
ENUM 1
Integration time used for wave calculation. 5 min,10 min,15 min,20
min,25 min,30 min,35 min,40 min,45 min,50 min,55 min,1 hour.
Default is 30min.
Time Series
Record Length
Float 1 Length of each temeries.5 min,10 min,15 min,20 min,25 min,30 min,35
min,40 min,45 min,50 min,55 min,1 hour. Default is 30 min.
Enable 2 Hz
Output
BOOL 1 Enables 2Hz output for all Time Series. Default ‘no’ equal to 4HZ.
Swell Wind
Separation
Frequency (Hz)
Float 1 Separation Frequency used to separate swell from wind generated
sea. Default is 0,1Hz = 10 seconds
