Acquiring Real-Time Data and Firing Bottles from Seasave
Run Seasave to acquire real-time data and fire bottles. Proceed as follows:
1.
Double click on Seasave.exe; SeasaveV7 opens.
2.
Click Configure Inputs. The Configure Inputs dialog box appears.
A.
Click the Serial Ports tab.
-
CTD Serial Port
- Select the computer port connected to the SBE 33
Serial Data
connector (which sends commands to and receives replies
from the CTD, through the Water Sampler), and the baud rate, data
bits, and parity. The baud rate, data bits, and parity must agree with
the SBE 33 setup (see
Setting Up and Testing System
in
Section 3:
Setting Up System
).
-
Water Sampling and 911Pump Control Serial Port
- Select the
computer port connected to the SBE 33
Carousel Data
connector
(which sends commands to and receives from the Water Sampler.
Notes:
When using the
SBE 49 FastCAT
with the SBE 33:
Seasave 7.23.2 and later supports
acquisition of Surface PAR data
If the SBE 49 is not set to
AutoRun=Y
(start sampling
automatically when power is
applied), start sampling by sending
the SBE 49 the
Start
command in
Seaterm before you run Seasave.
Note:
When the SBE 33 is used with the
PDIM, the SBE 33
Carousel Data
channel is not connected to the
computer; the water sampling COM
port setting in Seasave is ignored.
