Pressure and Voltage Sensor Setup Commands
PType=x Pressure sensor type.
x=1: Strain-gauge.
x=3: Quartz with temperature
compensation. Requires even NCycles=
(2, 4, 6, etc.) for Moored mode and even
NAvg= for Profiling mode.
Volt0=x x=Y: Enable external voltage 0.
x=N: Do not.
Volt1=x x=Y: Enable external voltage 1.
x=N: Do not.
Volt2=x x=Y: Enable external voltage 2.
x=N: Do not.
Volt3=x x=Y: Enable external voltage 3.
x=N: Do not.
Volt4=x x=Y: Enable external voltage 4.
x=N: Do not.
Volt5=x x=Y: Enable external voltage 5.
x=N: Do not.
Biowiper=x x=Y: Configuration includes WET Labs
ECO-FL fluorometer with Bio-Wiper.
With this setup, 19plus V2 is powered
longer for DS and GetSD, providing
sufficient time for Bio-Wiper to open and
then shut again if in Moored mode if Bio-
Wiper is set up to take 1 measurement for
each sample (see Application Note 72).
x=N (default): No ECO-FL with
Bio-Wiper.
Notes:
The 19plus V2 requires verification
when these commands (PType=
through Volt5=) are sent. The
19plus V2 responds:
this command will change
the scan length and/or
initialize logging. Repeat
the command to verify.
Type the command again and press
the Enter key to proceed. The
19plus V2 responds:
Scan length has changed,
initializing logging
The 19plus V2 configuration (.con)
file must match this selection of
pressure sensor and external
voltages when viewing real-time
data in SEASAVE or processing
uploaded data. View and edit the
.con file in SEASAVE or SBE Data
Processing. These parameters are
factory-set to match the ordered
instrument configuration.
External voltage numbers 0, 1, 2, 3,
4, and 5 correspond to wiring of
sensors to a voltage channel on the
19plus V2 end cap (see Dimensions
and End Cap Connectors in Section
2: Description of SBE 19plus V2).
However, in the .con file, voltage 0 is
the first external voltage in the data
stream, voltage 1 is the second, etc.
Example: Enable voltage sensors wired to channels 0 and 3 on end cap (user
input in bold).
VOLT0=Y
VOLT1=N
VOLT2=N
VOLT3=Y
VOLT4=N
VOLT5=N
There will be 2 external sensor voltages in data stream. In .con file (in SBE Data
Processing or SEASAVE), indicate 2 external voltage channels. Voltage 0
corresponds to sensor wired to external voltage channel 0; voltage 1 corresponds
to sensor wired to external voltage channel 3.
Note:
If an ECO-FL with Bio-Wiper is
installed and Biowiper=N, sending
GetSD or DS will open the Bio-Wiper,
but not provide enough powered time
to close it again. If you then deploy the
instrument in Moored mode (MM) with
the Bio-Wiper open and with a delayed
start time, the ECO-FL may become
fouled because the Bio-Wiper will
remain open until the first sample is
completed.
