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.
Used to determine strain gauge pressure sensor data format. See reply from DS.
• NMEA - Select if NMEA navigation device used, and if NMEA depth data and NMEA time data were also appended. 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.
Note: Whether NMEA device was connected to a deck unit or directly to computer during data
acquisition in Seasave has no effect on data file used by SBE Data Processing, and therefore has no effect on data processing.
• 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 added - Select if Seasave appended time (seconds since January 1, 1970 GMT) to each data scan. or .xmlcon file for this CTD.
Open to select different .con or .xmlcon file.
Save or Save As to save current .con or .xmlcon file settings.

Shown below is an example status (DS) response in Seaterm that corresponds to the setup shown in the Configuration dialog box above.
Shown below the appropriate lines are the commands used in Seaterm to modify the setup of parameters critical to use of the SBE 25 with Seasave and processing of data with SBE Data Processing, as well as any explanatory information.

Shaded sensors cannot be removed or changed to another type of sensor.
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.
Click a sensor and click Modify to change calibration coefficients for that sensor.
• .XML file – if selected, selections on Real-Time Options tab are grayed out.
• .HEX file - if selected, selections on Serial Sensors tab are grayed out.
If processing .HEX file collected in Seasave, must match settings used in Seasave for real-time data acquisition. If processing .XML file uploaded from memory, selections of real-real-time data from voltage channels have no effect.

If you selected Process .XML file uploaded from CTD memory, click the Serial Sensors tab.
Note:
This tab is grayed out if you selected Collect real-time data with Seasave and/or process real-time .HEX file on the first tab, because the 25plus does not transmit real-time serial sensor data.
25plus collected serial sensor data ifSetEnableSer1=Y. Serial sensor data was included in CTD .xml data file in memory if SetInlineSer1=Y. Otherwise, it was placed in a separate .txt file (which cannot be processed by SBE Data Processing); if in a .txt file, all selections are grayed out.
25plus collected serial sensor data ifSetEnableSer2=Y. Serial sensor data was included in CTD .xml data file in memory if SetInlineSer2=Y. Otherwise, it was placed in a separate .txt file (which cannot be processed by SBE Data Processing); if in a .txt file, all selections are grayed out.
Select serial sensor that is on each serial channel: None, SBE 38, SBE 50, SBE 63, and WET Labs Triplet.
If you selected Collect real-time data with Seasave and/or process real-time .HEX file, click the Real-Time Options tab.
Note:
This tab is grayed out if you selected Process .XML file uploaded from CTD memory on the first tab, because data is memory is always saved at 16 Hz, and NMEA, Surface PAR, and scan time data is not available in an uploaded file.
Must agree with SetHistoricRate= in 25plus. See reply from GetCD.
NMEA - Select if NMEA navigation device used, and whether NMEA device is connected directly to Deck Unit or to computer. 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. Note: Whether NMEA device was connected to a deck unit or directly to computer during data acquisition in Seasave has no effect on data file used by SBE Data Processing, and therefore has no effect on data processing.
Select if Seasave appended time (seconds since January 1, 1970 GMT) to each data scan.
Select if using with deck unit connected to Surface PAR sensor. Seasave appends Surface PAR data to every scan.
Enter/verify calibration coefficients for Surface PAR sensor. See Application Note 47.
Select if deck unit used, and select baud rate at which CTD was set to communicate.
