The structure of the calibration file corresponding to the PAROSFREQ sensor (see below) is simi-
lar to the
DRUCK . For historic reasons, PAROSFREQ calibration file uses the .drk extension.
• Pressure Sensor Serial Number
• Oscillator Frequency (in Hz)
• U0
• N/A
• N/A

4.9.5. Direct Command Interface for External Pressure Sensors
Operation of external pressure sensors can be controlled through the direct command interface.
See §3.9.4 for a description of these commands.
4.9.6. External Pressure Sensor Software
Additional software is required to use external frequency pressure sensors ( DRUCK / PAROSFREQ )
with SonTek instruments. Refer to the
ADVField Software Manual for details on these programs:
• LDDRUCK (DOS) – Loads the DRUCK / PAROSFREQ calibration file into the ADVField
• GTDRUCK (DOS) – Gets (downloads) the DRUCK / PAROSFREQ calibration file from the AD-
VField to the user’s computer.
• GADVTS (DOS) – Gets (extracts and converts) DRUCK / PAROSFREQ pressure series data from
the ADVField’s recorded data file.
• GADVHDR (DOS) – Gets (extracts) DRUCK / PAROSFREQ header data from the ADVField’s re-
corded data file.
• Terminal (Windows; part of SonUtils ) – Can be used to load the DRUCK / PAROSFREQ calibra-
tion file into the ADVField.
• ViewHydra (Windows) – Lets you view/postprocess Hydra data, including pressure data.
N
ote: The U, Y, C, D, and T coefficients can
be found on the Paroscientific calibration sheet.
