3.5 ON-LINE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Operator can freely decide to confirm the stored data by opportunely answering the following question:
Cast[5] Dataset[300]
Confirm data stored?: Yes
The operator confirms the acquired and stored data by answering <YES>. If the operator answers Yes,
the data acknowledgement procedure goes on the probe automatically updates data in memory and
returns to the data acquisition menu.
Updating Flush_EXT Memory...Ok
Done
3.6 UNATTENDED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
When the probe operates in unattended mode, the operator is not present when the probe terminates a
data acquisition cycle. Therefore, the probe automatically confirms the stored data and carries out an
automatic acknowledgement procedure. This procedure identifies the acquired data by assigning to the
sampling area identification code a message that later allows the operator to distinguish between the
causes of termination. The first three characters of the sampling area identification code are configured
as “ER-”, while, the remaining four characters are used to represent a numerical code, which uniquely
identifies the causes of data acquisition cycle termination, like:
0102 - Memory full
0105 - All data has been acquired
0111 - Data acquisition error
0112 - Operator ends the unattended data acquisition
0113 - Probe internal batteries exhausted
0115 - Date&Time calculation error
Thus: ER-0102
3.7 UPLOADING DATA STORED IN THE PROBE MEMORY
At the end of the unattended acquisition, data stored in the probe memory can be retrieved. The
following instructions explain how to do that with the IDRONAUT programs: ITERM and REDAS-5.
“ITERM”
1. Run “ITERM” programme.
2. Switch the probe ON by means of the magnetic switch.
3. Wait until the probe Main Menu appears.
4. From the “ITERM” probe menu, select the identify command. Wait until the ITERM program
identifies the connected probe and the probe main menu appears again.
5. From the “ITERM” probe menu, select upload stored data.
6. Wait until ITERM shows the probe memory cast area contents in the pop-up upload window.
7. Select the folder where data will be saved.
8. Select the cast to be uploaded. CTRL and SHIFT can help to select more than one cast at a time.
9. Start the uploading of the selected cast.
REDAS-5
1. Run REDAS-5 programme.
2. Switch the probe ON by means of the magnetic switch.
3. Run the upload cast function from the remote menu.
4. Wait until the list showing the casts stored in the probe memory appears in the pop-up window.
5. Using the mouse, select the cast to upload. CTRL and SHIFT can help to select more than one cast at
a time.
6. Press the OK key and wait until REDAS-5 retrieves the selected cast from the probe memory.
