OCR-504 Multispectral Radiometer
SECTION
E - CONFIGURATION
This parameter enables or disables the application of the stored immersion
coefficient to the optical data in telemetry frames that use engineering units.
The immersi
on coefficient should be “
on
” when the sensor is used in water and
“
off
” when used in air.

Command Line Parameter:

Value Parameter:

This parameter enables or disables the application of the stored
a0
and
a1
calibration coefficients to the optical data. Together with the
sensortype
and
frametype
parameters, this setting determines the telemetry frame format;
refer to the Telemetry Format section.
When modifying this parameter with the “
set
” command, you must enter either
“
on
” or “
off
” as the value parameter to enable or disable use of the calibration
coefficients.

ELEMETRY STARTUP LATENCY
Command Line Parameter:
latency
Value Parameter:
value (0
–
4294967296)
The Startup Latency parameter allows the user to add additional startup delay
before sampling begins. This setting may be useful for synchronizing initial
sampling with other instruments, or perhaps for allowing time for an optional
Sea-Bird Scientific Bioshutter paddle to move out of the field of view of the
OCR-504.
The latency value is entered in milliseconds.

Value Parameter:

Example
:
set a0ch1 2147267103.1
The Calibration Coefficient a0 setting allows the user to enter the a0 calibration
coefficient for ADC channels 1 through 4 (
a0ch1
,
a0ch2
,
a0ch3
,
a0ch4
) as a
decimal value. Up to 14 characters may be entered.
I
MPORTANT! Do not change the calibration coefficients unless you have
recalibrated the sensor or instructed to do so by Sea-Bird Scientific
personnel. Incorrect calibration coefficients will generate invalid data in
telemetry frames generating data using engineering units.
