Section 4: Deploying and Operating SBE 19plus V2

Setup for Deployment
1. Install new batteries or ensure the existing batteries have enough capacity
to cover the intended deployment (see Replacing/Recharging Batteries in
Section 5: Routine Maintenance and Calibration).
2. Program the 19plus V2 for the intended deployment using Seaterm232
(see Section 3: Power and Communications Test for connection
information; see this section for setup/configuration, sampling modes,
pump operation, and commands):
A. Set the date and time (DateTime=).
B. Ensure all data has been uploaded, and then send InitLogging to
make the entire memory available for recording. If InitLogging is not
sent, data will be stored after the last recorded sample.
C. Establish the setup and logging parameters.
If you will be using SEASAVE to acquire and view real-time
data, you must set OutputFormat=0 (raw hexadecimal).
D. Send GetCD or DS to verify the setup.
E. If desired, use StartDateTime= and StartLater to establish delayed
start date and time for Profiling mode (if IgnoreSwitch=Y) or
Moored mode.
3. If you will be using SEASAVE to acquire and view real-time data, verify
that the configuration (.con) file matches the instrument configuration.
Sea-Bird supplies a .con file to match the factory configuration and
calibrations. If the instrument is recalibrated or the configuration
is changed (such as by adding external sensors), the .con file must
be updated to reflect the current condition. See Verifying Contents of
.con File.
4. If you will be using Seaterm232 to view real-time data, click the Capture
menu to save the data to a file. Enter the desired capture file name in the
dialog box, and click Save.
Note:
When we ship a new instrument,
we include a .con file that reflects
the current instrument configuration
as we know it. The .con file is
named with the instrument serial
number, followed with the .con
extension. For example, for an
instrument with serial number 2375,
Sea-Bird names the .con file
2375.con. You may rename the
.con file if desired; this will not
affect the results.
