1.17.7 Acquired data processing and post-processing
Conversion of the raw data measurements (ADC Counts) into engineering units is configurable by the
user; please see the description in the dedicated appendix and in the section “Calculations”.
1.17.8 Low power consumption
Probe electronics is built using high integration electronic devices, low power consumption integrated
circuits, and discrete components. The power consumption of the OCEAN SEVEN 310 probe is very
low if compared to its high performance. The low power consumption is further reduced whenever the
probe is not used for more than 2 minute. In fact, the management firmware powers OFF all unused
resources while waiting for a command from the operator. Whenever the probe remains in this low
power condition for more than five minutes, it automatically shuts down by itself, further decreasing
the power consumption.
1.17.9 Configuration
The OCEAN SEVEN 310 configuration parameters are stored in the probe non-volatile memories. The
configuration parameters are checked at the probe start-up using a CRC 32- bit wide algorithm. By
means of the CRC 32-bit code, corruption of probe configuration is promptly detected and restoration
of the “factory” default configuration is automatically carried out by the probe by itself.
