Deep SUNA Manual
For SUNA running firmware version 2.4 or later
6. Use Scenarios
The sensor can run autonomously (periodic mode), respond to a controller (polled or
APF mode), or be powered up and down by a controller (running in continuous mode).
Regardless of the operation control, moored applications often collect discrete samples.
The user can choose to either collect a series of samples, and perform averaging as a
second data processing step. Alternatively, the sensor can be configured to collect a
single data sample that already is an average of multiple measurements.
Before the deployment, the sensor must receive a reference spectrum update, where
the reference spectrum is collected under data acquisition conditions that resemble the
deployment data collection conditions.
6.2.2 Example
This example assumes that the SUNA operates autonomously in periodic operating
mode. Data are collected in analog form by a data acquisition device, and also logged
internally for post-deployment analysis.
