Step by Step procedures
The following topics are covered with Step by Step instructions.
Recording and
storing a
Background
Scatterfile (zscat
file) Recording a background scatter file is the first step in acquiring
data. This step-by-step describes the proper procedure to record
and download a background scatter file and save it for later
processing. Information on interpreting the Background Scatter file
is also provided. Page 35.
Downloading
raw data files Each data collection sequence is stored to a separate datafile on the
compact flash memory. Files can be offloaded to the PC using the
Download data function of the LISST-SOP software. Page 37.
Deleting Raw
data files After downloading the data files can be deleted from memory. This
step-by-step procedure covers deleting files. Page 39.
Processing a
single raw data
file Data that has been downloaded from the datalogger on the LISST-
100X is in a raw binary file (.DAT extension). It must be processed
into particle size by the LISST-SOP program. If you only have one
raw data file to process (e.g. from a long-term mooring deployment),
follow these processing steps that includes optional displays and
procedures. Page 40.
Batch
Processing
Multiple raw data
files Data that has been downloaded from the datalogger is in a raw
binary file (.DAT extension). It must be processed into particle size
by the LISST-SOP program. If you have multiple raw data files to
process (e.g. from a series of profiling deployments), follow these
processing steps that allows you to process all files in one
operation. Page 46.
Batch
Processing
Multiple raw data
files from the
command line
Data that has been downloaded from the datalogger is in a raw
binary file (.DAT extension). It must be processed into particle size
by the LISST-SOP program. However, if you have multiple raw data
files to process (e.g. from a series of profiling deployments), it is
possible to bypass the SOP and process the files in one operation
using a command issued from the command line. Follow these
processing steps to prepare your system for the command line
processing. Page 52.
View Particle
size data After processing of the data into a Particle Size Distribution file
(.PSD extension) the data can be viewed to the screen. This step-
by-step procedure covers the viewing of data and optional displays.
