Section 4: Deploying and Operating SBE 19plus V2
45
General Setup Commands
DateTime=mmddyyyyhhmmss Set real-time clock month, day, year, hour,
minute, second.
BaudRate=x x= baud rate (600, 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200).
Default 9600. Check capability of your
computer and terminal program before
increasing baud rate. Command must be
sent twice to change rate.
Echo=x x=Y: Echo characters received from
computer (default) - monitor will show
entered commands as you type.
x=N: Do not.
OutputExecutedTag=x x=Y: Display XML Executing and
Executed tags (default). Executed tag
displays at end of each command
response; Executing tag displays one or
more times if 19plus V2 response to a
command requires additional time.
x=N: Do not.
BatteryType=x x=alkaline: Alkaline batteries (also use
this setting for lithium batteries). Logging
stops when voltage drops below 7.5 volts
for 5 consecutive scans. This reduces
battery load to quiescent current.
x=nicad: Ni-Cad batteries. Logging stops
when voltage drops below 7.5 volts for
5 consecutive scans or voltage is less than
10.9 volts and voltage drop is greater than
0.5 volts/minute as determined by two
30-second moving averages. This reduces
battery load to quiescent current once first
cell in battery pack is exhausted.
x=nimh: NiMH batteries. Logging stops
when voltage drops below 7.8 volts for
5 consecutive scans or voltage is less than
8.7 volts and voltage drop is greater than
0.2 volts/minute as determined by two 30-
second moving averages. This reduces
battery load to quiescent current once first
cell in battery pack is exhausted.
Example: Set current date and time to 05 October 2007 12:05:00 (user input in bold).
datetime=10052007120500
Notes:
• The 19plus V2 baud rate (set with
BaudRate=) must be the same as
Seaterm232’s baud rate (set in the
Communications menu).
• An RS-232 sensor (SBE 38 or GTD)
integrated with the 19plus V2 must
use the same baud rate as the
19plus V2. See the RS-232 sensor’s
manual to set its baud.
• BaudRate= must be sent twice.
After the first entry, the 19plus V2
changes to the new baud, and then
waits for the command to be sent
again at the new baud (In the
Communications menu, select
Configure. In the dialog box, select
the new baud rate and click OK.
Then retype the command.). This
prevents you from accidentally
changing to a baud that is not
supported by your computer. If it
does not receive the command
again at the new baud, it reverts to
the previous baud rate.
Example: Set 19plus V2 to output Executed and Executing tags (user input in bold).
outputexecutedtag=y
<Executed/>getcd
. . . (GetCD response)
<Executed/>
(Note: <Executed/> tag at end of command response takes place of S> prompt.)
