SBE 33
23
SBE 19
plus
V2 or 25
plus
The SBE 19
plus
V2 and 25
plus
use a different terminal program than the older
CTDs. Set and/or verify the CTD baud rate, and establish CTD operating
parameters:
1.
Connect the CTD directly to the computer
(not through the SBE 33 and
Water Sampler), using the data I/O cable supplied with the CTD.
2.
Double click on
SeatermV2.exe
; SeatermV2 opens.
3.
Select your CTD in the Instruments menu; Seaterm232 opens.
4.
Follow the instructions in the software Help for connecting to the CTD.
5.
Look at the connection baud rate in the title bar of the Command/Data
Echo Area. If this is not a baud that can be used with the Water Sampler
(< 4800):
A.
Change the baud in the CTD:
SBE 19
plus
V2:
BaudRate=x
, where x = 1200, 2400, or 4800.
SBE 25
plus
:
SetBaudConsole=x
, where x = 600, 1200, 2400, or
4800.
B.
Reconnect to the CTD at the new baud rate (see the software Help for
details); verify that the title bar of the Command/Data Echo area
shows the new baud rate.
C.
Record the baud; you must also set the CTD baud rate in the SBE 33
(see
Setting Up and Testing System
).
6.
Establish other CTD setup and logging parameters (see CTD manual).
Note the following requirements for use with the SBE 33:
SBE 19
plus
V2: Set
OutputFormat=0
.
SBE 25
plus
: Set
SetOutputFormat=0
.
7.
Send
QS
to put the CTD in quiescent (sleep) state.
Notes:
The SBE 33’s factory-default setup
commands the Water Sampler to
communicate with the CTD at
4800 baud. The setting in the
SBE 33 must match the baud rate
programmed in the CTD.
For the
most efficient operation, keep the
baud at 4800 baud.
See
Setting Up
and Testing System
.
Once all baud rates are set, you can
also communicate with and change
the setup of the CTD
through
the
SBE 33 and Water Sampler using
Seaterm. See
Setting Up and
Testing System
.
Note:
The other CTDs that are compatible
with the SBE 33 use a different
terminal program; see
SBE 19, 19plus,
25, or 49
above.
