User Manual for AML Oceanographic’s Micro SV & P Sensor

Command:
SET [SE] SAMPLE RATE [S]
This command sets the rate at which the instrument will take samples (or scans). The
sample rate is in the form of a number followed by the time units. The allowable time units
are listed below:
CONTINUOUS [C]
/SECONDS {/S]
SECONDS [S]
MINUTES [M]
HOURS [H]
The following examples demonstrate some of the possible permutations of this command:
SET SAMPLE 6 HOUR
This will set the sample rate for one sample every 6 hours.
SE SA 30 SEC
This will set the sample rate for one sample every 30
seconds.
SET S 5 S
This will set the sample rate for one sample every 5 seconds.
SE S CONTINUOUS
This sets the sample rate at the maximum of 25 scans per
second.
Command:
SET INCREMENT [INC]
This command sets the pressure increment that the Micro SVP uses when logging data.
Units are in dBars. (Note: dBars are approximately equal to meters).
Example:
SET INC 10
This will set the instrument to log a scan of data into memory
every 10 dBars.
SET INC .5
Log every 0.5 dBars.
Note: Care should be exercised when setting both the SAMPLE RATE and the pressure
INCREMENT. For example, if the Sample rate is set to 1 minute and the pressure
increment is set to 1 dBar, every 1 minute the instrument will check for a 1 dBar change
in pressure.
Command:
TIME [T]
This command sets the real time clock in the instrument. This command uses the 24 hour
clock with a format of hh:mm:ss.hh
Example:
TIME 13:44:12
Command:
DATE [DA]
This command sets the date using the format mm/dd/yy.
