Section 4: Deploying and Operating SBE 19plus V2
29
Moored Mode
At pre-programmed intervals, the SBE 19plus V2 wakes up, samples data,
stores the data in its FLASH memory, and enters quiescent (sleep) state.
The 19plus V2 goes to sleep for a minimum of 3 seconds between each
sample. Logging is started with StartNow or StartLater, and is stopped with
Stop. If real-time data is to be transmitted (MooredTxRealTime=Y), data is
transmitted after measurements are complete for that sample and before
sampling begins for the next sample.
Example: 19plus V2 in Moored mode
Wake up 19plus V2. Set date and time to October 1, 2007 at 9:05 am. Initialize logging to overwrite previous data in
memory. Set up with strain-gauge pressure sensor and 1 voltage sensor, take a sample every 120 seconds, take and
average 4 measurements for each sample, do not transmit real-time data, and output data in raw hex format. Set up
pump to run for 0.5 seconds before each sample. Set up to start logging on October 15, 2007 at 11 am. Send command
to start logging at designated date and time. After all parameters are entered, verify setup with status command. Send
power-off command.

Deploy 19plus V2. Logging starts automatically at programmed date and time.
Upon recovering 19plus V2, stop logging. Upload data in memory, in format SBE Data Processing can use.
Send power-off command.
(Click Connect in Seaterm232’s Communications menu to connect and wake up.)
STOP
(Click Upload – Seaterm232 leads you through screens to define data to be uploaded and where to store it.)

Note:
Use Stop to:
• Stop autonomous sampling
• Stop waiting to start autonomous
sampling (after Startlater has
been sent)
Once Stop is sent, the 19plus V2
accepts all commands again.
