Acquiring Real-Time Data with Seasave
Verifying Contents of Configuration (.xmlcon or .con) File
Seasave, our real-time data acquisition and display program, requires a
configuration file, which defines the CTD – integrated auxiliary sensors, and
channels, serial numbers, and calibration dates and coefficients for all the
sensors (conductivity, temperature, and pressure as well as auxiliary sensors).
Seasave (as well as our data processing software) uses the information in the
configuration file to interpret and process the raw data. If the configuration
file does not match the actual instrument configuration, the software will
not be able to interpret and process data correctly.
1. Double click on Seasave.exe.
2. Click Configure Inputs. On the Instrument Configuration tab, click Open. In
the dialog box, select the .xmlcon or .con file and click Open.
• Seasave and SBE Data Processing
versions 7.20a introduced .xmlcon
files (in XML format). Versions 7.20a
and later allow you to open a .con or
.xmlcon file, and to save it to a .con
or .xmlcon file. Seasave and SBE
Data Processing use the same file.
• A new or recalibrated CTD ships
with a configuration file that reflects
the current configuration as we know
it. The file is named with the
instrument serial number, followed
by a .con extension. For example,
for a CTD with serial number 2375,
Sea-Bird names the file 2375.con.
You may rename the file (but not the
extension) if desired; this will not
affect the results.
• In the 19plus V2 setup commands,
external voltage numbers 0, 1, 2, 3,
4, and 5 correspond to wiring of
sensors to a voltage channel on the
end cap (see Dimensions and End
Cap Connectors in Section 2:
Description of SBE 19plus V2).
However, in the .xmlcon or .con file,
voltage 0 is the first external voltage
in the data stream, voltage 1 is the
second, etc.
