Section 4: Setting Up MicroTSG SBE 45
33
Setting Up Configuration (.xmlcon or .con) File
Seasave and SBE Data Processing, our real-time data acquisition and data
processing software (respectively), require a configuration file. The
configuration file defines the MicroTSG – which parameters are output by the
MicroTSG, and the data output rate - and indicates whether NMEA and
SBE 38 data is to be appended to the data stream. The software uses the
configuration file to interpret and process the data.
If the configuration file
does not match the actual instrument configuration, the software will not
be able to interpret and process the data correctly.
To verify the contents of the .xmlcon or .con file:
1.
Double click on Seasave.exe.
2.
Click Configure Inputs. On the Instrument Configuration tab, click Open . In
the dialog box, select the .xmlcon or .con file and click Open.
3.
The configuration information appears on the Instrument Configuration
tab. Verify the output matches the output programmed into the SBE 45,
and the use of the optional Interface Box, SBE 38, and NMEA matches
your system. Click Modify to bring up a dialog box (shown below) to
change the configuration.
4.
Click Save or Save As to save any changes to the .xmlcon or .con file.
Click Exit when done reviewing /modifying the configuration.
Notes:
•
Seasave and SBE Data Processing
versions 7.20a introduced .xmlcon
files (in XML format). Versions 7.20a
and later allow you to open a .con or
.xmlcon file, and to save t to a .con
or .xmlcon file. Seasave and SBE
Data Processing use the same file.
•
A new or recalibrated instrument
ships with a configuration file that
reflects the current configuration
as
we know it . The file is named with
the instrument serial number,
followed by a .con extension. For
example, for an instrument with
serial number 2375, Sea-Bird names
the file
2375.con . You may rename
the file (but not the extension) if
desired; this will not affect the
results.
Define data in MicroTSG data
stream:
•
Output conductivity with each
scan - Must agree with MicroTSG
setup (
OutputCond= ).
•
Output salinity with each scan –
Must agree with MicroTSG setup
(
OutputSal= ).
•
Output sound velocity with each
scan – Must agree with MicroTSG
setup (
OutputSV= ).
See reply from DS for setup
programmed into MicroTSG.
•
Use junction box – Select if MicroTSG data transmitted to computer through Interface Box.
•
SBE 38 temperature added – only applicable if Use junction box is selected. Select if
Interface Box connected to SBE 38 remote temperature sensor. If selected, Seasave and
SBE Data Processing (Data Conversion and Derive modules) use remote temperature data
when calculating density and sound velocity.
•
NMEA data added – only applicable if Use junction box is selected. Select if Interface Box
connected to a NMEA navigation device. Seasave automatically adds current latitude,
longitude, and universal time code to data header. Select NMEA (Lat/Lon) Interface in
Seasave’s Configure menu to control how Lat/Lon data is incorporated.
See PN 90402 – SBE 45 Power, Navigation, and Remote Temperatue Interface Box manual.
