Batteries – Nine alkaline D-cells (Duracell MN1300, LR20) standard.
Available with optional rechargeable NiMH or Ni-Cad battery pack.
Fouling – Biological growth in the conductivity cell during deployment.
Typically a concern when SBE 19plus V2 is used in a moored application;
install moored mode conversion kit with AF24173 Anti-Foulant Devices for
these applications.
PCB – Printed Circuit Board.
SBE Data Processing – Sea-Bird’s Win 2000/XP data processing
software, which calculates and plots temperature, conductivity, and pressure,
data from auxiliary sensors, and derives variables such as salinity and sound
velocity.
Scan – One data sample containing temperature, conductivity, pressure, date
and time (Moored mode only), and optional auxiliary inputs.
SEACAT – High-accuracy conductivity, temperature, and pressure recorder.
The SEACAT is available as the SBE 16plus (moored applications, RS-232 or
-485 interface), SBE 16plus-IM (moored applications, inductive modem
interface) and SBE 19plus (profiling or moored applications). Version 2 (V2)
models of each of these instruments became available in late 2007 / early
2008, and have 2 additional A/D channels (for a total of 6), a standard channel
for an RS-232 sensor, and larger memory (64 MB).A plus version of the
SBE 21 SEACAT (thermosalinograph) is under development.
SEASAVE V7 – Sea-Bird’s Windows 2000/XP software used to acquire,
convert, and display real-time or archived raw data.
SEASOFT-Win32– Sea-Bird’s complete Win 2000/XP software package,
which includes software for communication, real-time data acquisition, and
data analysis and display. SEASOFT-Win32 includes SeatermV2,
SEATERM, SEASAVE V7, and SBE Data Processing.
SEATERM – Sea-Bird’s Win 95/98/NT/2000/XP terminal program used to
communicate with the SBE 38.
SeatermAF – Sea-Bird’s Win 95/98/NT/2000/XP terminal program used to
communicate with the SBE 19plus V2 when it is used with a water sampler
operated autonomously (SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler with Auto Fire
Module (AFM) or SBE 55 ECO Water Sampler). See the AFM manual or
SBE 55 manual.
SeatermV2 – Win 2000/XP terminal program launcher. Depending on the
instrument selected, it launches Seaterm232 (RS-232 instruments),
Seaterm485 (RS-485 instruments), or SeatermIM (inductive modem
instruments).
Seaterm232 – Win 2000/XP terminal program used with Sea-Bird
instruments that communicate via an RS-232 interface, and that were
developed or redesigned in 2006 and later. The common feature of these
instruments is the ability to output data in XML. The current list of
instruments supported by Seaterm232 includes: SBE 16
plus V2 (RS-232
interface, version 2 or later firmware); SBE 19plus V2 (version 2 or later
firmware); SBE 37-SM / -SMP / -SI / -SIP (all version 3 or later firmware),
and SBE 54.
