Glossary
Battery pack –
7.2 V, 5.2 Amp-hour pack consisting of 4 AA Saft LS 14500
AA lithium cells (3.6 V and 2.6 Amp-hours each).
ICC –
Inductive Cable Coupler, which clamps to the insulated mooring cable
and transfers the inductive signal on the wire to the IMM or SIM PCB
installed inside the buoy or elsewhere.
IMM –
Inductive Modem Module PCB, used to interface between the
computer serial port and 39
plus
-IMs or other compatible IM-sensors. Either an
IMM or SIM is required to interface with the 39
plus
-IM.
PCB –
Printed Circuit Board.
Plot39 –
Windows software for plotting SBE 39, 39-IM, 39
plus
, and
39
plus
-IM data.
SBE 39plus –
High-accuracy temperature and optional pressure recorder
with
RS-232 serial interface
and internal USB interface.
SBE 39plus-IM –
High-accuracy temperature and optional pressure recorder
with
inductive modem interface
and internal USB interface.
SBE Data Processing –
Windows data processing software, which
calculates and plots temperature, pressure, and derived variables.
Scan –
One data sample containing temperature, optional pressure, and
date and time.
Seasoft V2 –
Complete Windows software package, which includes software
for communication, real-time data acquisition, and data analysis and display.
Seasoft V2 includes
SeatermV2
,
Plot39
, and
SBE Data Processing
.
SeatermV2 –
Windows terminal program
launcher
, which launches the
appropriate terminal program for the selected instrument (SeatermIM or
SeatermUSB – SBE39plus-IM for this 39
plus
-IM).
SeatermIM –
Windows terminal program used with Sea-Bird instruments
that communicate via an Inductive Modem (IM) interface, and that were
developed or redesigned in 2006 and later. The common feature of these
instruments is the ability to output data in XML.
SeatermUSB – SBE39plus-IM –
Win 2000/XP program used when
communicating via the 39
plus
-IM internal
USB
connector. This program can send
commands to provide status display,
basic
data acquisition setup, and data upload.
For access to the full set of setup and testing commands, use SeatermUSB
Terminal (accessed by clicking the Terminal button in this program).
SIM –
Surface Inductive Modem PCB, used to interface between the computer
serial port and 39
plus
-IM or other compatible IM instruments. Either an IMM
or SIM is required to interface with the 39
plus
-IM.
Super O-Lube –
Silicone lubricant used to lubricate O-rings and O-ring
mating surfaces. Super O-Lube can be ordered from Sea-Bird, but should also
be available locally from distributors. Super O-Lube is manufactured by
Parker Hannifin (www.parker.com/ead/cm2.asp?cmid=3956).
Note:
All Sea-Bird software listed was
designed to work with a computer
running Windows 2000/XP. Extensive
testing has not shown any compatibility
problems when using the software with
a computer running Windows Vista or
Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit).
CAUTION:
Do not use Parker O-Lube, which
is petroleum based; use only
Super O-Lube.
