Seasave V7
SBE 25 Sealogger Configuration
Channel/Sensor table reflects this choice (0 - 7). Must
agree with SBE 25 setup (CC); see reply from DS.
Voltage channel 0 in .con or .xmlcon file corresponds to
first external voltage in data stream, voltage channel 1 to
second external voltage in data stream, etc.
1, 2, 4, or 8 scans/second. Used to
calculate elapsed time, if you select
time as a parameter for a display
window. Must agree with SBE 25 setup
(CC); see reply from DS.
• NMEA - Select if NMEA navigation
device used, and select whether
device is connected directly to Deck
Unit or to computer (if connected to
computer, define serial port and
baud rate on Configure Inputs’ Serial
Ports tab). You can also append
NMEA depth data (3 bytes) and
NMEA time data (4 bytes) after
Lat/Lon data. Seasave adds current
latitude, longitude, and universal
time code to data header; appends
NMEA data to every scan; and
writes NMEA data to .nav file every
time Ctrl F7 is pressed or Add to
.nav File is clicked (see Adding
NMEA Data to .nav File in Section 8:
Real-Time Data and Real-Time
Control - Real-Time Data
Acquisition).
Notes:
1. NMEA time can only be appended
if NMEA device connected to
computer.
2. NMEA depth can only be
appended if NMEA device
connected to computer or if using
SBE 25 with SBE 33 or 36 Deck Unit
(firmware > 3.0) or PN 90488 or
90545 Interface Box.
• Surface PAR - Select if using with
deck unit connected to Surface PAR
sensor. Seasave appends Surface
PAR data to every scan. Adds
2 channels to Channel/Sensor table.
Do not increase External voltage
channels to reflect this; External
voltage channels reflects only
external voltages going directly to
SBE 25 from auxiliary sensor See
Application Note 47.
• Scan time - Select to have Seasave
append time (seconds since January
1, 1970 GMT) to each data scan.
Used to determine strain gauge pressure sensor
data format. See reply from DS.
Shaded sensors
cannot be
removed or
changed to
another type of
sensor. All others
are optional.
Click a (non-shaded) sensor and click Select
to pick a different sensor for that channel.
A dialog box with a list of sensors appears.
Select sensors after number of voltage
channels have been specified above.
Opens a .txt file (for viewing only;
cannot be modified) that shows all
parameters in .con or .xmlcon file.
