Sensor Configuration
The
Sensor Configuration
menu is usually preset from the factory. However, we recommend
that you scan through the settings to ensure that nothing has been altered, or that your personal
preferences have not changed. The type of sensors available will vary from instrument to
instrument. Standard sensors are Profiler and Compass/Tilt. Other sensors are optional.
If a sensor is not installed, you have the option of using a fixed reading instead.
Fixed readings will then be used when the instrument derives virtual measurements such as Depth,
Salinity and Speed of Sound.
For in-situ measurement of sound speed, pressure,
temperature and conductivity the respective
sensors must be installed or else the fixed reading
is used. The temperature sensor must be connected
to the temperature channel to be used for
compensation.
Some sensors, such as the Compass/Tilt sensor
have built in check facilities that allow you to
monitor their reading for verification.
The high accuracy pressure sensor is used for depth
and wave measurements and allows for air pressure
compensation. The
air pressure
parameter may be
fixed, given as input from another sensor or sent to
the instrument real-time.
The SR10-VR22 entry holds the configuration for
general purpose Aanderaa oceanographic sensors
such as the Oxygen Optode and the Turbidity
sensor. This entry has its own sub menu that is
acknowledge by the SR10 channel number.
Temperature may also be achived from the
Conductivity sensor 3919 or Pressure sensor 4017
by using a aplit cable
