Tuesday, Oct 4 2011 =========== == cmp ===== =========== Start setting up the sensors, starting with CMP. Have two screen captures (TxTools) in directory c:\projects\aon11\cmp: - bs3_cmp_setup1.txt : initial instrumentation testing, most of the setup - bs3_cmp_setup2.txt: correction to starting depth. Also: reset "reference date/time". I am still a bit unclear how that relates to "Scheduled start". Have a question to that affect out to Kevin Manganini. Oct 8, 2011 understood the "scheduled start" and "reference time" : - scheduled start: first dive, get out of the surface; possibly wait down there then. - reference time: first profile. change settings accordingly: - bs3_cmp_setup3.txt (note: all my changing was not captured to that file; I forgot to turn it on. But: once I realized that, I stopped deployment once more. In that programming, which I did capture, the settings are simply captured to log file as a record of the deployment parameters.) ============ == microcats == ============ use SeaBird's SeaTerm (Version 1.59) at least two had batteries hooked up already. Time was set for all three to within a few seconds. Changed latitude for pressure/depth conversion for two of them. Added salinity output for all three. 1) shallow (100m) instrument: #03ds SBE37-SM 485 V 2.2a SERIAL NO. 2133 04 Oct 2011 16:40:26 logging data sample interval = 900 seconds samplenumber = 1, free = 190649 store time with each sample output salinity with each sample do not output sound velocity with each sample do not output density with each sample output depth with each sample latitude to use for depth calculation = 71.50 deg A/D cycles to average = 4 temperature = 13.41 deg C S> 2) first of two 350m instruments: #01ds SBE37-SM 485 V 2.3a SERIAL NO. 2135 04 Oct 2011 16:46:49 logging data sample interval = 900 seconds samplenumber = 1, free = 190649 store time with each sample output salinity with each sample do not output sound velocity with each sample do not output density with each sample output depth with each sample latitude to use for depth calculation = 71.50 deg A/D cycles to average = 4 internal pump not installed temperature = 13.19 deg C S> 3) second of two 350m instruments: #06ds SBE37-SM 485 V 2.3b SERIAL NO. 2136 04 Oct 2011 16:51:20 logging data sample interval = 900 seconds samplenumber = 1, free = 190649 store time with each sample output salinity with each sample do not output sound velocity with each sample do not output density with each sample output depth with each sample latitude to use for depth calculation = 71.50 deg A/D cycles to average = 4 internal pump not installed temperature = 13.06 deg C S> =================== == Long Ranger ADCP == =================== connect with BBtalk, run the tests suggested by Dan Torres (insert his email); captured to log file user BBtalk to upload the command file bs3b_2011.whp: ;AON_11, BS3 ;LR75 sn 15483 ;Deployment file CR1 WM15 RN BS3LR CQ255 CF11101 EA0 EB0 ED1500 ES35 EX11111 EZ1111111 LA50 LW0 LD111100000 LF800 LN20 LP33 LZ020,170 LS1000 LV200 TE01:00:00.00 TP00:07.30 TG2011/10/04,22:45:00 CK CS ; ;Instrument = Workhorse Long Ranger ;Frequency = 76800 ;Water Profile = YES ;Bottom Track = NO ;High Res.

Oct 09, 2010 had stopped ADCP to check cabeling when retrieved WH300 at first did not start (power outlet on Healy was dead). Now restarted Long Ranger with the same settings other than the start time: TG2011/10/09,19:00:00 command file bs3b-2011_restart.whp capture file whlr75_15483_restart.txt ================================== == Workhorse turnaround ========== ================================== WH300 ser# 2226 was recovered from tripod TR1 on 10/7/2011 (about). changed batteries put in new dessicant changed O-rings after talking to John/Jim, we set this to be the BS3 WH300 the only difference in settings are the transducer depth and just a few less bins (18 vs 20) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WH300 ser# ending in 27 (hard to read: its only in pen ) retrieve from BS3 on Oct 11 before lunch. Turn around that afternoon and redeploy on tripod "BS2". Downloaded data (twice). Changed batteries but not O-rings (260 does not fit; guessing its 262, but don't have that in spares Dan sent or with the new LongRanger). Note: found ADCP 2 min 51 sec fast upon download. Did not reset ADCP clock (by the time I remembered, folks were ready to attach it to tripod and re-deploy. =================== == BS3 AW ========== =================== Unpack; open winch/logger at metal endcap to connect two battery connectors. (had accidentally opened the other side as well; cleaned it and re-greased on O-ring and closed it up again) Ed had suggested to hook up two serial ports, monitoring the float while talking to the logger. Unfortunately, it appears that I am missing a 3-ping underwater cable. It seems likely that it was a 4-pin at earlier iterations, since my float comms box is looking for that. Beyond monitoring, I would have cleaned out existing data files from the float. Ed says there should be enough space without that cleaning step. Clean up the files from the logger memcard. Continue to set logger clock, but logger freezes up. Stop operations. --------- line calibration AW 07: issued command #5: reading pulled out: 3242 issued command #14: reading after pulled in: 3367 distance: 6.60m*2 = 13.2m 3242/13.2 = 245.6 count/m 3367/13.2 = 255.1 count/m => 4% error redo: issued command #5: reading pulled out: 3237 issued command #14: reading after pulled in: 3343 distance: 6.62m*2 = 13.24m 3237/13.24 = 244.5 count/m 3343/13.24 =252.5 count/m => 3% error line calibration AW 09: issued command #5: reading pulled out: 3362 issued command #14: reading after pulled in: 4074 distance: 6.62m*2 = 13.24m 3362 / 13.24 = 254 count/m 4074/13.24 = 307.7 count/m second cal: issued command #5: reading pulled out: 3370 issued command #14: reading after pulled in: 4269 3370 / 13.24 = 255 count/m 4269/13.24 = 322.4 count/m third cal: issued command #5: reading pulled out: 3341 issued command #14: reading after pulled in: 4106 3341 / 13.24 = 252 count/m 4106/13.24 = 310.1 count/m We like to place AW09 onto the tripod in 70m of water. We like to keep a 10m surface distance, and figure that the AW float is about 2m (little less) off the bottom. Therefore: restrict AW09 to (70-10-2)=58m line out. Although Ed is surprised to see the difference between pay out and haul in calibrations, he agrees that we should use the pay-out cal. Therefore: 253 count/m * 58m = 14674 counts. ============================== ULS ser# 51081 Have an IPS5 this time: received email from Rick Krishfield with configuration that he had deployed this unit with during an earlier year (2008?), also saved in file bs3_1.ips5: --------- start Rick email ------------------------------- Unit '51080' deployed 2008-08-05 18:13:49 Serial Number 51080 CPU 7575 Parameter Version 3 Configuration Version 1 File name format YYMMDDHH OperatingMode Target Detection SoundSpeed 1460.00 DataOutput FLASH Compression OFF Number of phases 1 Date span: Aug 6, 2008 00:00:00 - Sep 9, 2009 23:59:59 ------------------------------------------- Phase 1 Acquisition Period: Aug 6, 2008 00:00:00 - Continuous Duration 400.0000 days Phase Type 'Ice Profiling' Pulse Length 68 uS Dig.
