Section 4: Deploying and Operating SEACAT
SEACAT ID Commands
Only one SEACAT can be online when sending these commands.
ID?
Get SEACAT ID
(ID = ii, where ii= 0-99).
*ID=ii
Set SEACAT ID to ii, where ii= 0-99.
*ID=ii must be sent twice, because
computer requests verification.
Note that if more than one SEACAT is
online when sending command, all
SEACATs online will be set to same ID.
Miscellaneous Commands
All these commands are preceded by !ii, where ii=SEACAT ID (0-99).
!iiDS
Display communication firmware version,
timeouts, and serial line sync status.
Example: (user input in bold, command used to modify parameter shown in parentheses)
S>!01DS
SBE 16plus RS-485 V1.0
rxdelay = 25 msec
txdelay = 25 msec
reply wait time = 30 sec
serial sync mode disabled
Note:
Set !iiRxMax= greater then
#iiDelayBeforeSampling=. See
Pump Operation.
Note:
See Sampling Modes for complete
details on the operation of serial
line synchronization.
[!iiRxDelay=]
[!iiTxDelay=]
[!iiRxMax=]
[!iiSyncMode=]
!iiRxDelay=x
x= delay after SEACAT receives a
command until transmitter is enabled
(1 – 500 msec). Default 25 msec.
!iiTxDelay=x
x= delay after SEACAT transmits a reply
until transmitter is disabled
(1 – 500 msec). Default 25 msec.
!iiRxMax=x
x= time communication microcontroller
waits for reply from acquisition
microcontroller before it times out
(1 - 180 sec). Default 30 sec.
!iiSyncMode=x
x=Y: Enable serial line sync mode. When
RS-485 B is high and RS-485 A is low for
1-1500 msec, SEACAT takes sample,
stores data in FLASH memory, and
powers down.
x=N: Disable serial line sync mode.
Notes:
• The SEACAT baud rate (set with
!iiBaud=) must be the same as
SEATERM’s baud rate (set in the
Configure menu).
• An RS-232 sensor (SBE 38,
SBE 50, or GTD) integrated with
the SEACAT must use the same
baud rate as used by the
SEACAT. See the RS-232
sensor’s manual for details on
how to set its baud rate.
!iiBaud=x
x= baud rate (1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600).
!ii*EETest
Test EEPROM. This test erases all
calibration coefficients and userprogrammed parameters.
