Section 3: Preparing MicroCAT for Deployment 

SBE 37-SM RS-232 

18 

Software Installation 

 

Seasoft V2 was designed to work with a PC running Windows 7/8/10  
(32-bit or 64-bit). 

 

If not already installed, install Sea-Bird software programs on your computer 
using the supplied software CD: 
 
1.

 

Insert the CD in your CD drive. 

 
2.

 

Install software: Double click on 

SeasoftV2.exe

. Follow the dialog box 

directions to install the software. The installation program allows you to 
install the desired components. Install all the components, or just install  
Deployment Endurance Calculator (battery endurance calculator), 
SeatermV2 (terminal program 

launcher

 for the MicroCAT), and  

SBE Data Processing (data processing). 

 
The default location for the software is c:\Program Files\Sea-Bird. Within that 
folder is a sub-directory for each program.  
 

If you will be using a USB-to-Serial Port adapter to connect the 
instrument to a USB port on your computer:

 You must install the driver for 

the adapter. The driver should have been provided when you purchased the 
adapter, or you should be able to download it from the adapter manufacturer’s 
website. 
 

 
 

Power and Communications Test  

 
The power and communications test will verify that the system works,  
prior to deployment. 
 

Test Setup 

 

 
1.

 

Remove dummy plug (if applicable): 
A.

 

By hand, unscrew the locking sleeve from the MicroCAT’s bulkhead 
connector. If you must use a wrench or pliers, be careful not to loosen 
the bulkhead connector instead of the locking sleeve. 

B.

 

Remove the dummy plug from the MicroCAT’s I/O bulkhead 
connector by pulling the plug firmly away from the connector. 

 
 
 
 
2.

 

XSG Connector

 - Install the I/O cable connector, aligning the raised 

bump on the side of the connector with the large pin (pin 1 - ground) on 
the MicroCAT.     

OR 

MCBH Connector

 – Install the I/O cable connector, aligning the pins. 

 
 
 
3.

 

Connect the I/O cable to your computer’s serial port. 

Dummy plug 

Locking 
sleeve 

Notes: 

  Help files provide detailed 

information on the software.  
A separate software manual  
on the CD-ROM contains  
detailed information on  
SBE Data Processing. 

  It is possible to use the MicroCAT 

without the SeatermV2 terminal 
program by sending direct 
commands from a dumb terminal or 
terminal emulator, such as Windows 
HyperTerminal. 

 

Sea-Bird supplies the current 
version of our software when you 
purchase an instrument. As software 
revisions occur, we post the revised 
software on our website. See our 
website for the latest software 
version number, a description of the 
software changes, and instructions 
for downloading the software.
