Step 7: Deploy the
instrument
Disconnect the Communications cable. Attach the connector plug
and deploy the instrument. The green LED on the endcap can be
used to see if the instrument is still running as programmed.
Step 8: Recover the
instrument
Upon recovery, rinse and dry the area around the connector endcap.
Reconnect the Communications cable. If the instrument has been
deployed for an extended period of time it is recommend that 9V be
applied to the external power connector of the Communications
cable. This will supplement any remaining battery power and
eliminate the possibility of batteries dying during downloading of the
data. Open the LISST-25 or TFTOOLS program and stop the
running program by hitting the Stop button or by typing CTRL-C.
