The magnetic power ON/OFF switch is not used and is bypassed when the
probe is used with telemetry (please remove the internal batteries, if any, before
operating the probe through the telemetry system).
This switch also allows the operator to easily deploy a probe that is pre-
configured to carry out unattended data acquisition cycles. When switching
ON/OFF the probe by means of the magnetic switch, please wait at least 10
seconds between consecutive ON/OFF cycles.
1.10 MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES
IDRONAUT programmes designed for the Windows 32/64bit operating systems allow the operator to
communicate with the OCEAN SEVEN 310 probe to perform attended or unattended data acquisitions.
Programmes include functions to upload data from the internal non-volatile data memory when the
probe acts as a logger. The available programmes are:
ITERM: IDRONAUT Terminal Emulation program and probe management to easily communicate
with the OCEAN SEVEN 310 CTD multi-parameter probe. Diagnostic and dedicated
functions are present.
ZTERM: Terminal Emulation Program for Windows Mobile Operating system. Terminal emulation
program to easily communicate with the OS310 CTD multi-parameter probe.
uREDAS IDRONAUT real-time data acquisition software for Windows Mobile operating system. It allows
acquiring and displaying data in real time storing it for later retrieval and processing using
REDAS-5 program. While acquiring, up to six different parameters are shown on screen.
REDAS-5: Real-time data acquisition, processing and presentation program, which allows the
numerical display and plotting of the standard sensors and the derived variables such as
salinity, sound speed, density, according to the UNESCO formulas and recommendations.
MULTIPLEX: Multiplex programme, which allows the acquisition from up to 16 OCEAN SEVEN 310 CTDs
connected to a single personal computer. Data acquired in real time by means of the Multiplex
program can be later processed using the REDAS-5 program.
