The SeaSave data visualization and processing software relies on a few factors in order to establish communications with your CTD and to process your data correctly. Some issues prevent good data from being displayed, while others will prevent communication entirely....
FAQs
Can my SBE 18 pH sensor be run in a freshwater bath as well as salt water?
Yes, like the HydroCAT EP's glass bulb pH sensor, the SBE 18 pH probe is capable of running in both fresh and salt water. If you have questions about your sensors accuracy or storage recommendations or suspect your sensor has lost accuracy, please contact Sea-Bird...
How can I determine the dark count offset for my ECO Instrument?
To determine a ‘dark count’ value or ‘offset’ for your ECO we recommend that the instrument be configured in as close a manner to the actual deployment mode as possible. This means the meter should be installed on the cage or logging system (CTD or other data logger),...
What recommendations does Sea-Bird have for mounting my ECO sensor for best data accuracy?
The ECO sensors primarily image a volume that is approximately 1 cm3, centered 1 cm off the face of the instrument. NOTE: This does not preclude return of photons from outside of this volume and in particular it is best that no fixed objects are in the field of view...
What are some deployment recommendations for the HydroCAT-EP?
Here are a few generally applicable deployment recommendations and tips for the HydroCAT-EP: - Must be vertically deployed - High suspended sediment/turbidity may call for more frequent visits by the user - Need to purge the internal flow path - Sedimentation can take...
What is the difference in pressure calibration for a Deep SBE41 versus an SBE61?
The deep SBE41 and SBE61 use the same pressure sensor - a 7000dbar Kistler. And, they are calibrated with the same Paroscientific Digiquartz reference. However, the calibration process is different. A deep SBE41 receives a 2-point sensor only temperature compensation...
I powered off my SUNA V2 and applied external power again. Now, my SUNA V2 won’t boot up. What is the cause and how can I resolve this?
The SUNA V2 has capacitors that maintain internal power for to the electronics long enough for a proper shutdown process when external power is removed. However, these capacitors must completely discharge between power cycles, or else the SUNA may fail to properly...
How can I change the USER and PWD (password) credential settings on my Navis float?
The menu to configure the factory parameters you are asking about is accessible through the i*? command. The ? argument for this command will give you a list of all of the arguments to change each individual menu. Let me know if you have any questions about the list...
How do I use Polled Mode of Operation on my SUNA?
The polled mode setting allows the user to program the SUNA to sample when a command is sent. Customers who would like to integrate an SDI-12 controller with their SUNA should use the polled mode setting. Please note that the SDI-12 operation is not available on SUNA...
Can I program my SUNA to start at a preferred time?
Unfortunately, users cannot currently program their SUNA to start at a preferred time. As soon as the SUNA is powered, the instrument will begin it’s programmed sampling mode on the hour. Users can use the offset feature to change the start time. For example, an...
