When the SeapHOx system loses connection with its 37 SMP-ODO CTD component, the system will report back the measured AND derived values related to that instrument as NAN. As part of this, it will also report its External pH as NaN as the salinity correction is missing...
Sea-Bird hosts an FTP (file transfer protocol) site for larger data transfers than are available by standard email. The instructions for gaining access to this FTP site can be provided by Sea-Bird Technical Support upon request. Software that is either no longer...
The spike seen in the pump out phase is due to the commencement of flow and reagents/material that is outside the optical path initially but is swept through the optical path during flush out. The spike is accepted as normal behavior of the system and does not affect...
Whether the tau correction is applied depends on where the system is being deployed.nnIf the system is to be used in shallow, coastal waters where large vertical gradients that change quickly are expected, the tau correction should be applied, as it accounts for the...
CAPO4 is the phosphate concentration that the instrument reports as its measurement. CAPO4 is the calculated concentration of an ambient sample using the CAS slope, where CAS is the manufacturer's scale factor, which is provided by Sea-Bird. nnVAPO4 is used in a QC...
A setup file is used by Seasave V7, and by each module in SBE Data Processing, to remember the way you had the program set up. You can save the file to a desired filename and location, and then use it when you run the software the next time, to ensure that the...
The configuration file defines the instrument — auxiliary sensors integrated with the instrument, and channels, serial numbers, and calibration dates and coefficients for all the integrated sensors (conductivity, temperature, and pressure as well as auxiliary...
Sea-Bird’s main software package is called Seasoft©. Seasoft V2 — Seasoft V2 is actually a suite of stand-alone programs. You can install the entire suite or just the desired program(s). Deployment Endurance Calculator — calculates deployment length for moored...
First off, let’s see what a relatively good Raw Data Plot looks like. The different phases are the pre-flush phase (dark blue), the ambient baseline reading period (red), the sample reagent pump phase (green), the sample read/reaction phase (purple), and finally the...
Files that are delivered with Sea-Bird Scientific and third party equipment to describe the sensors data output and calibration coefficients come in two types. Calibration files or *.cal files and telemetry definition format files or *.tdf files. In some cases,...
