sampling begin.
For convience, you can select to open the terminal window or zero the
depth sensor before starting the sampling program. We recommend
selecting to open the terminal window, so you can confirm the
sampling program has been started.
If you select the Cancel button, the message below appears, informing
you how you can start the instrument.
When the instrument has been started, depending upon the Start
Conditions, text will be displayed approximately every 30 seconds in
the terminal window. At this point the user will know that the instrument
is running and is ready to be deployed. For our example it will be
displaying a message that reads “Waiting for Mechanical Switch ON
signal”.
While waiting for the start condition the LED on the connector endcap
will double blink every few seconds to alert the user that the instrument
is running but not yet sampling. During sampling the LED will
illuminate during the actual measurement of an averaged sample. For
example if the sampling is set for 1 Hz sampling with measurements
per average set to 20 then the LED will blink once per second. If
settings are set for a 30 second average every 15 minutes then the
LED will illuminate for 30 seconds every 15 minutes.
For our example we can move the white plastic lever on the endcap to
the “1“ position. Sampling will start. If the Terminal window is still
open, text will be displayed as the instrument acquires data. Data
collection will continue until the Stop Conditions are met. In our case,
until the switch lever is returned to the “0” position.
