5. In the Start Real-Time Data Acquisition dialog box, click Start.
A. If you selected Begin archiving data immediately or Begin archiving
data when ‘Start Archiving’ command is sent above, and selected
Prompt for Header Information in the Header Form setup (Configure
Outputs), the Header Information dialog box appears. Fill in the
desired header and click OK.
B. If you selected Check Scan Length in the Options menu, SEASAVE
checks the .con file to verify that the scan length defined by the .con
file matches the 19plus V2 (i.e., number of sensors and inclusion of
NMEA is as defined in the .con file). If a Scan length error appears,
verify that:
• You are using the correct .con file.
• The .con file has been updated as necessary if you added or deleted
sensors, added or deleted NMEA or Surface PAR inputs, etc.
C. SEASAVE sends a message: Waiting for data. . . If you have already
started logging data, ignore the message; otherwise, slide the
magnetic switch to the On position or apply external power, as
applicable to your setup of the 19plus V2. SEASAVE times out if
data is not received within Timeout in seconds at startup.
D. Real-time data then starts appearing in the screen displays.
6. To stop real-time data acquisition: In the Real-Time Data menu,
select Stop.
7. Stop logging:
• If IgnoreSwitch=N and AutoRun=N: Put the magnetic switch in the
Off position.
• If IgnoreSwitch=Y and AutoRun=N: Close SEASAVE, then open
Seaterm232 and send Stop.
• If AutoRun=Y: Remove external power.
Notes:
• If in Moored mode, the 19plus V2
must be sampling autonomously to
use SEASAVE for real-time data
acquisition. Start sampling by
sending StartNow or StartLater in
Seaterm232 before starting
acquisition in SEASAVE.
• To prevent problems in the use of
the COM port, click Disconnect in
the Communications menu in
Seaterm232, and close Seaterm232
before starting real-time acquisition
in SEASAVE.
