5.1.3.4 Analog Board Commands
The Micro SVP can be configured for two additional analog channels if the optional Micro
analog board is installed. These channels may be used to incorporate additional sensors such as
Ph, Do2 or any other sensor outputting a voltage. When the Micro SVP is equipped with an
analog board, the following commands can be used to configure the extra channels.
Note:
Data will not be logged from an analog channel that is turned off. Please refer to
Section 1.
2 for information on the Micro SVP’s channel configuration.
Command:
SET ANALOG ON [SE A O]
This command enables the displaying of the analog channel/s.
Command:
SET ANALOG OFF [SE A OF]
This command disables the displaying of the analog channel/s.
Data from the analog board will not be logged.
Command:
SET ANALOG 1 [SE A 1]
This command will enable the displaying of analog channel #1 when the analog board has
been enabled with the SET ANALOGON command.
Analog channel #2 data will not be displayed or logged.
Command:
SET ANALOG 2 [SE A 2]
This command will enable the displaying of analog channels #1 and #2 when the analog
board has been enabled with the SET ANALOGON command.
5.1.3.5 Set Startup Options
Command:
SET STARTUP DELAY nnn [SE ST D nnn]
The Startup Delay time is defined as the time difference between the logger board
powered up, and when the sensor boards are powered up. The time (nnn) is entered in
0.02-second intervals. Maximum
startup delay
is 255, or 5 seconds.
This command may be used for a “gentle power on”, to power up the instrument in stages
thus avoiding large power up current spikes that may result when using long cables or
batteries with high internal resistances.
Example:
>set startup delay 200
(set the startup delay to 4 seconds)
In the above example, 4 seconds after the Micro SVP is powered up the
sensor boards will be powered up.
