E FOREWORD
The aim of this section is the description of operations needed by OCEAN SEVEN probe customers to
perform unattended sampling of bottles using an intelligent GENERAL OCEANICS or a MISS Rosette
joined to an OCEAN SEVEN 310 probe. Bottles can be sampled in function of pressure, time step or
according a configure sensor trigger. Please find below a step-by-step procedure to be followed during
the set-up of the unattended cycles and the suggestions on how to successfully accomplish the bottle
sampling. Obviously, the OCEAN SEVEN 310 probe must be equipped with the software and hardware
interface for the 1018 GO or MISS IDRONAUT Rosette.
E.1 BOTTLE SAMPLING IN FUNCTION OF TIME
Bottles can be sampled in function of time only when the probe is configured to perform a timed data
acquisition cycle. The interval used to take bottle sampling must be a multiple of the configured data
acquisition interval. A bottle is closed when the data acquisition interval coincides with the bottle-
sampling interval. Bottles are closed starting from the first configured bottle to the last configured one.
During the time between acquisitions, the Rosette and the OCEAN SEVEN 310 probe are in OFF
condition and do not consume battery energy. The following message is shown by the probe once the
timed data acquisition function is invoked and a Rosette is connected to the probe.
ROSETTE
Number of bottle positions: 12
Number of bottles to fire: 12
Bottle step: 1
First bottle to fire: 1
Reverse depth value: 1500.00
Bottle firing depth step: 100.00
Bottle firing time step: 00:00:00
Bottle firing depth profile: 1
Bottle firing method: TIME STEP
Do you want to fire bottles? Y(es, N(o
If the operator answers <NO>, the bottle will not be sampled. If the operator answers <YES>, the set-up
continues as follows:
Bottles to fire [1..36]
The operator must enter the number of bottles installed on the Rosette. It must be any value between 1
and the number of Rosette positions. The bottles are sampled consecutively starting from the first bottle
and ending with the last bottle, increasing the bottle number after each bottle sampling.
First bottle to fire [1..36]
The operator must enter the first bottle to fire. It must be any value between 1 and the number of Rosette
positions.
Step between bottle [1..36]
This allows the operator to define the number of bottles position between two installed bottles. The step
value is used to advance the number of bottle in preparation of the next bottle to fire. The default value
is 1.
Firing bottle time step [hh:mm:ss]
The operator must enter the bottle time step taking into account that it must be a multiple of the interval
used to acquire data. The probe automatically checks that the operator’s set-up meets these criteria and,
in case it doesn’t, the following message appears:
