4. In the RealTime Data menu, select Start Acquisition . The dialog box looks
like this:
5.
In the Start Real-Time Data Acquisition dialog box, click Start .
A. If you selected Begin archiving data immediately or Begin archiving
data when ‘Start Archiving’ command is sent above, and selected
Prompt for Header Information in the Header Form setup (Configure
Outputs), the Header Information dialog box appears. Fill in the
desired header and click OK.
B. If you selected Check Scan Length in the Options menu, Seasave
checks the configuration (.xmlcon or .con) file to verify that the scan
length defined by the configuration file matches the MicroTSG (i.e.,
number of sensors and inclusion of NMEA is as defined in the file). If a
Scan length error appears, verify that:
•
You are using the correct .xmlcon or .con configuration file.
•
The configuration file has been updated as necessary if you added
or deleted outputs, added or deleted Interface Box, etc.
C. Seasave sends a message: Waiting for data . . . Seasave will time out
if data is not received within Timeout in seconds at startup .
D. Real-time data then starts appearing in the screen display(s).
6.
To stop real-time data acquisition: In the Real-Time Data menu,
select
Stop .
7.
Stop the MicroTSG sampling by turning off power.
Configuration Options : Currently selected instrument
configuration (.xmlcon or .con) file is shown, containing information
on output from MicroTSG, use of Interface Box, and inclusion of
NMEA and SBE 38 data with output from MicroTSG. To modify
input configuration (xmlcon or .con file, serial ports, TCP/IP ports,
and/or miscellaneous), click Configure Inputs. To modify outputs
(serial data output, serial ports shared file output, mark variables,
TCP/IP output, TCP/IP ports, SBE 14 remote display, header form,
and/or diagnostics), click Configure Outputs.
•
Timeout in seconds at startup : Time allowed before first data
scan is received from MicroTSG. Seasave will time out and stop
attempting to acquire data if data is not received from MicroTSG
within this time period.
•
Timeout in seconds between scans : Maximum gap allowed
between scans after first data scan is received from MicroTSG.
Seasave will
time out and stop attempting to acquire data if data
is not received from MicroTSG within this time period (for
example, if a problem with power interrupts data acquisition,
Seasave stops attempting to acquire data after this gap).
Data Archiving Options:
•
Begin archiving data immediately to store raw (frequencies,
A/D counts, and/or voltages) real-time data as soon as Start
button is clicked and communication is established.
•
Begin archiving data when ‘Start Archiving’ command is
sent
to control when data begins to be written to file. If you
make this selection, when you click Start button and
communication is established, a dialog box with Start Archiving
button appears. Click this button when ready to begin saving
scans to file, or select Start Archiving in Real-Time Data menu.
•
Do not archive data for this cast to not save data to a file.
Real-time data will still appear in displays.
Click Select Output Data File
Name . Save Archived Data As
dialog box appears; browse to
desired file location, enter desired
file name, and click Save.
