software ver 4.249, manual ver ss4249.a, 23 March 20011.0  INTRODUCTION

SEASOFT consists of modular menu driven routines for acquisition, display, processing, and archiving
of oceanographic data acquired with Sea-Bird equipment and is designed to work with an IBM personal
computer XT/AT/386/486 or compatible.

In order to enhance data integrity, raw data is acquired from the instruments and stored as raw
unmodified data.  A conversion program DATCNV uses the instrument configuration and calibration
coefficients to create a converted engineering unit data file (.CNV) that is operated on by all SEASOFT
post processing modules.  Each SEASOFT module that modifies the converted data file adds information
to the header of the converted file permitting tracking of how the various oceanographic parameters were
obtained.

SEASOFT supports the following Sea-Bird products:

     SBE 9/11 CTD System           (24 Hz with cable telemetry)
     SBE 911plus CTD System        (enhanced SBE 9/11)
     SBE 9/17 CTD System with SEARAM(internally recording SBE 9 with batteries)
     SBE 16 SEACAT                 (moored time series instrument)
     SBE 19 SEACAT PROFILER        (2 Hz internally recording CTD with batteries)
     SBE 21 THERMOSALINOGRAPH      (sea surface measurements)
     SBE 25 SEALOGGER CTD          (8 Hz internally recording CTD with batteries)
     SBE 31 Multi-Channel Counter  (general purpose surface acquisition - previously
                                   called the SBE 11/X)
     SBE 37 MicroCAT

2.0  BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEASOFT MODULES

Acquisition, Playback, and Conversion of Raw Data to Engineering Units:

  BUOYANCY:  Compute buoyancy (Brunt-V„is„l„) and stability frequency
  BINAVG:    Average data in a .CNV file.  Bins can be based on pressure, depth, scan number or
             time.
  CELLTM:    Conductivity thermal mass correction
  DERIVE:    Read in .CNV and calculate derived variables (salinity, density, sound velocity,
             oxygen, potential temperature, dynamic height ...) 
  FILTER:    Low pass filter columns of data
  LOOPEDIT:  Mark scan with 'badflag' if the scan fails pressure reversal or minimum velocity
             tests.
  WILDEDIT:  Mark 'wild' points in .CNV files by setting their values to 'badflag'.
  WFILTER:   Window filters: triangle, cosine, boxcar, gaussian, and median

SEASOFT requires approximately 4 Mbytes of disk space during installation.  Make sure there is room
on your disk before proceeding.

1.  Make a directory for the SEASOFT executable files and copy all of the SEASOFT disks to this
directory.
  for example, type
     cd \
     md seasoft
     cd seasoft
     insert SEASOFT disk 1 in drive a:
     copy a:*.*
     insert SEASOFT disk 2 in drive a:
     copy a:*.*

2.Type sinstall at the DOS prompt to uncompress the SEASOFT files.

3.Make a directory for your configuration and data files.
  for example type
  cd \
  md ctddata

4.Add the seasoft directory to the PATH statement in your autoexec.bat file.

5.In your config.sys file set:
     buffers=20 (or more)
     files=20 (or more)
  
  If you are using a SBE 11 deck unit with IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface your config.sys file should also
  contain the line:

     device=gpib.com

  You can copy the GPIB.COM file from the SEASOFT directory to the root directory (the GPIB
  configuration is shown in the next section) or you can use the IBCONFIG utility that came with your
  GPIB interface to configure GPIB.COM.

6.If you are using a color graphic adapter with a monochrome display (i.e. most laptop computers) a
  better display will result if the DOS command MODE BW80 is run before running any of the
  SEASOFT modules.  This command can be inserted in your autoexec.bat.  MODE.COM is included
  in the SEASOFT disks but you may want to run the version that came with the version of DOS that
  is installed on your computer.

The terminal programs can be run from floppy disk based computers to set up and upload data from
internally recording instruments.  The data processing programs require a hard disk based system.

SEASAVE.     example - C:\SEASOFT> seasave

1. From the Main Menu select "Display Archived Data"

2. The menu should contain the following:

   Raw Data File =                 DEMO.DAT
   Configuration file [.CON] =     DEMO.CON
   Display File [.DSP] =           DEMO.DSP
   Input File [.CON] [.DAT] [.HEX] Path =C:
   Display Type =                  Overlaid X-Y Plots

   To change entries, use arrow keys to move highlighted cursor bar to the item you want to change
   and press the "enter" key.  A sub-menu will open to show what other choices are available.  Move
   the cursor bar to the desired item and press "enter" to select it.

3. DEMO.CON contains the configuration and calibration coefficients for the demo data file.  If
   SEASOFT.CON is included on the disk it will contain the configuration and calibration coefficients
   for your instrument.  Do not choose SEASOFT.CON to view the demo data.

4. There are two display files, DEMO.DSP and DEMOFEAT.DSP.  For the first demonstration, select
   DEMO.DSP.

5. For now, do not modify the Variables to Display or Misc. X-Y Plot Parameters.

6. Enter the number of scans to skip over in the data file =  0

7. Enter number of scans to skip between computations = 4 (for maximum graphical resolution choose
   0 (but it takes longer to print to the screen).

8. To view the data, press F10.  Space Bar halts (and resumes) plotting.  CTL-F1 will quit display and
   return to menu.
 
9. To look at a portion of the profile in greater detail, select the display file DEMOFEAT.DSP.  Set
   the number of scans to skip over in the data file = 300, and the number of scans to skip between
   computations = 0.

10.Press F10 to view data.

11.When you press escape to go back to the Main Menu, and then press escape to exit the program,
   you will be have a choice to do one of the following:

   a) overwrite the .DSP file most recently selected 
   b) write to a new file
   c) quit without saving 

   To save a display configuration you have created by modifying an existing .DSP file, choose b and
   enter a new filename.

12.Refer to the manual for instructions on using the other modules.

4.0  FILE FORMATS

File extensions are used by SEASOFT modules to indicate the file type.



4.1  FILE EXTENSION DEFINITIONS:

ASC  The data portion of a .CNV converted data file written in ASCII by ASCIIOUT, or files 
     written by TERM37.

BL   Created by SEASAVE when a bottle fire confirmation is received.  Contains bottle sequence
     number, position, date, time, beginning and ending scan numbers.

BTL  Created by ROSSUM.  This is a summary of the data in a .ROS file

BSR  Bottle scan range file, used by DATCNV to create a .ROS file.

CFG  Used by SEASOFT modules to store the input filename, input data path, output data path, and
     other miscellaneous module specific parameters.

CTR  Density contour file generated by CONTOUR.

CNV  'Converted' engineering unit data file.  An ASCII header precedes the data.

CON  Contains instrument configuration and calibration coefficients, used by SEACON, SEASAVE,
     and DATCNV.

DAT  Raw binary data, optionally with header information (SBE 9/11, 11X, 9/11plus, and data files
     created with previous versions of SEASOFT).

DSP  Used by SEASAVE to store data acquisition and display parameters

HDR  1) Header portion of a .CNV converted data file written by ASCIIOUT.
     2) Header recorded when acquiring real time data or uploading archived data.

HEX  Raw HEX data with header information (SBE 16, 17, 19, 21, and 25).

MRK  Marker file created by SEASAVE during real time data acquisition.

PLT  Used by SEAPLOT to store display parameters.

ROS  Scans marked with the bottle fire confirmation bit, or defined by a .BSR file, written by
     DATCNV.

SEASOFT modules search the current directory for DSP, PLT, and CFG files.
SEASOFT modules search the 'input data path' for CON, HEX, DAT, and CNV files.  One exception
is SEACON which searches the current directory for CON files.4.2  CONVERTED DATA FILE FORMAT:

Converted data files (CNV extension) consist of a descriptive header followed by converted data in
engineering units.  The header contains header information from the raw input data file followed by
entries that describe the number of rows and columns of data, a description of each column, the interval
between each row (scan rate or bin size), and a historical record of the processing steps that were used
to create or modify the data file.  The converted data is stored in either rows and columns of ASCII
numbers (11 characters per value) or as a binary data stream with each value stored as a 4 byte binary
floating point number.  The last data column is a flag field used to mark scans as good or bad.

Header lines beginning with '*' contain header information copied from the raw input data file.
Header lines beginning with '#' contain information describing the converted data file.
The ASCII string "*END*" flags the end of the header information.

The converted data format is:

   * ...
   * ...
   # nquan = <value>
   # nvalues = <value>
   # units = metric | english
   # name 0 = <internal name: descriptive label>
   # name 1 = <internal name: descriptive label>
   .....
   # span 0 = <minimum value, maximum value>
   # span 1 = <minimum value, maximum value>
   # interval = <pressure, depth or time spacing between rows>
   # start_time = <time raw data was acquired>
   # bad_flag = -9.99e-029
   # file_type = ascii or binary

The header is terminated by:

   *END*<carriage return, line feed>

SEASOFT modules process binary data files much faster than ASCII data files.  The ASCII files can be
examined and modified with any text editor.

The definition of each field is:

nquan = <val>         number of data columns = val
nvalues = <val>       number of rows in the data file = val
name_N = <iname: label>internal name for the data in column N = i_name (i_name cannot be
                      modified by the user)
                      the default label for the data in column N = label (label can be modified
                      by the user
span_N = <min, max>   minimum value for the data in column N = min
                      maximum value for the data in column N = max
interval = <type:val> interval type = decibars, meters, feet, or seconds
                      the interval between rows = val
start_time = <val>    date and time that the raw data was acquired
bad_flag = -9.99e-029 the user can choose to ignore a data point or scan marked equal to the
                      bad_flag while processing or plotting the data
units = <val>         converted data units can be metric or english
file_type = <val>     the converted data file format is ascii or binary

Each SEASOFT module that modifies a .CNV file adds information to the header and updates the nquan,
nvalues, name_n, span_n, interval, and file_type entries when appropriate.


5.0  SAMPLE DATA PROCESSING STEPS

The following examples assume that SEACON has been run to create a .CON file containing the
instrument configuration and sensor calibration coefficients.

Oxygen values computed by SEASAVE and DATCNV will be somewhat different from oxygen values
computed by DERIVE.  This is because the oxygen algorithm uses the parameter doc/dt (the derivative
of oxygen current with respect to time).  SEASAVE and DATCNV compute this parameter looking
backwards in time since they share common code and SEASAVE can not use future values of oxygen
current while acquiring data in real time.  DERIVE uses a centered window (equal number of points
before and after the scan) to obtain a better estimate of doc/dt.  SEASAVE and DATCNV can be used
to obtain a quick look of oxygen values, DERIVE should be used to obtain the most accurate oxygen
computations.

5.5  STANDARD PROCESSING OF SBE 9/11 CTD DATA

The following data processing steps assume that the SBE 11 Deck Unit has been set to correctly advance
conductivity relative to pressure (1.75 scans or 0.073 seconds) for SBE 9/11 and SBE 911plus systems
with a TC duct.  The program ALIGNCTD can be used to verify that the deck unit correct by adding

WITH OXYGEN:

  2. DATCNV  Convert the raw data to pressure, temperature, conductivity and parameters obtained
             from auxiliary sensors such as dissolved oxygen current, dissolved oxygen
             temperature, and light transmission.

Notes:

   SBE 911plus systems should not have any 'wild' data points.  This data processing step may be
   skipped.
   FILTER can be run before CELLTM to remove any residual response time between the temperature
   and conductivity sensors and to minimize digitization noise.  On average, a low pass filter with a
   time constant of 0.03 sec reduces the noise in computed salinity slightly.  A low pass filter with a
   time constant can be used to smooth the pressure data.  This can be useful when examining full rate
   ( 24 scans per second) fine structure data on pressure scales of 10 meters or less.

   CELLTM needs to be run only if salinity accuracies of better that 0.01 PSU in regions with steep
   gradients are desired.

   SEAPLOT can be used to display the data at any point after DATCNV has been run.  
   ASCIIOUT is useful for exporting converted data to other computers or other processing software.


5.6  BATCH FILE PROCESSING

The easiest way to process data using a batch file is:
   
   First run each module and enter the desired choices in the set up forms.  When the form is complete
   press Esc to exit the module.  The module configuration will be stored in the current directory as
   MODULENAME.CFG.

   Once the module configurations have been written create a batch file to process the data.  One
   example is:

   line 1: datcnv -ihu112
   line 2: alignctd -ihu112
   line 3: loopedit -ihu112
   line 4: binavg -ihu112 -ohu112avg
   line 5: derive -ihu112avg

Line 1 converts HU112.DAT or HU112.HEX and writes the converted file to HU112.CNV.
Line 2 aligns HU112.CNV and writes out the aligned file to HU112.CNV.
Line 3 loopedits HU112.CNV and writes out the edited file to HU112.CNV.
Line 4 averages HU112.CNV and writes out the averaged file to HU112AVG.CNV.
Line 5 computes derived parameters using HU112AVG.CNV and writes out the input data plus the
derived data edited file to HU112AVG.CNV.

If you want to be able to interrupt the batch processing modify the batch file as follows:

   line 1: datcnv -ihu112
   line 2: if errorlevel 1 goto abort
   line 3: alignctd -ihu112
   line 4: if errorlevel 1 goto abort
   line 5: loopedit -ihu112
   line 6: if errorlevel 1 goto abort
   line 7: binavg -ihu112 -ohu112avg
   line 8: if errorlevel 1 goto abort
   line 9: derive -ihu112avg
   line 10:if errorlevel 1 goto abort
   line 11:goto end
   line 12::abort
   line 13:echo batch process interrupted by user
   line 14::end


6.0  COMMAND LINE INPUT AND OUTPUT FILENAMES

When processing all data files (-a or -ax command line options) the input and output data paths stored
in the module configuration file will be added to the filename.  With the -a option the setup screen will
be displayed and you will have the option of changing the input and output data paths before processing
the files.

When specifying the input filenames (-i<filename> command line option):

   If the filename does not contain a path specifier the input data path in the module configuration file
   is added to the filename.
   If the filename contains a path specifier the input data path in the module configuration file is not
   used.

When specifying the output filenames (-o<filename> command line option):

   If the filename does not contain a path specifier the output data path in the module configuration file
   is added to the filename.
   If the filename contains a path specifier the output data path in the module configuration file is not
   used.

With the exception of SPLIT, the default output filename is the input filename.

If the output filename is the same as the input filename, the output file is first written to a temporary file. 
When processing is complete the input file is deleted and the temporary file is renamed to the input dat
filename.

Examples for SEASOFT module BINAVG:

IF:input data path = c:\ctddata\sta112
   output data path = c:\ctddata\sta112\avg
   (input and output data paths are different)

   binavg -ax

     averages all the .CNV files in c:\ctddata\sta112 and writes out the averaged files (the averaged
     files will have the same names as the input data files) to c:\ctddata\sta112\avg

   binavg -icast1

     averages c:\ctddata\sta112\cast1.cnv and writes out the averaged data to
     c:\ctddata\sta112\avg\cast1.cnv

   binavg -ia:cast1 -ob:test

     averages a:cast1.cnv and writes out the averaged data to b:test.cnv

   binavg -i\ctddata\sta100\cast5

     averages c:\ctddata\sta100\cast5.cnv and writes out the averaged data to
     c:\ctddata\sta112\avg\cast5.cnv

   binavg -i\ctddata\sta100\cast5 -o\ctddata\sta100\avg\cast5

     averages c:\ctddata\sta100\cast5.cnv and writes out the averaged data to
     c:\ctddata\sta100\avg\cast5.cnv

   output data path = c:\ctddata\sta112
   (input and output data paths are the same)

   binavg -ax

     averages all the .CNV files in c:\ctddata\sta112 and writes out the averaged files (the averaged
     files will have the same names as the input data files) to c:\ctddata\sta112
     The input data files will be overwritten.

   binavg -icast1

     averages c:\ctddata\sta112\cast1.cnv and writes out the averaged data to
     c:\ctddata\sta112\cast1.cnv
     The input data file will be overwritten.

   binavg -ia:cast1 -ob:test

     averages a:cast1.cnv and writes out the averaged data to b:test.cnv
     The input data file will not be overwritten.

   binavg -i\ctddata\sta100\cast5

     averages \ctddata\sta100\cast5.cnv and writes out the averaged data to
     \ctddata\sta112\cast5.cnv
     The input data file will not be overwritten.

   binavg -i\ctddata\sta100\cast5 -o\ctddata\sta100\avg\cast5

     averages i:\ctddata\sta100\cast5.cnv and writes out the averaged data to
     i:\ctddata\sta100\avg\cast5.cnv
     The input data file will not be overwritten.7.0  PROMPTS COMMON TO ALL SEASOFT MODULES

8.0  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SEASOFT MODULES

8.1  ALIGNCTD

Description:

ALIGNCTD aligns temperature, conductivity and oxygen measurements in time relative to pressure.  This
ensures that calculations of salinity, dissolved oxygen concentration, and other parameters are made using
measurements from the same parcel of water.  ALIGNCTD can not be run on converted data files that
have been averaged into pressure or depth bins.

The measurements can be misaligned for 3 principal reasons:

   a)  the sensors are physically misaligned in depth,
   b)  the inherent time delay (time constants) of sensor responses, and
   c)  the water transit time delay in the pumped plumbing line (or the corresponding flushing
     delay in free-flushing sensors that depends on profiling speed).

When measurements are properly aligned, salinity spiking (and density) errors are minimized, and oxygen
data corresponds to the proper pressure (e.g. temperature vs oxygen plots agree between down and up
profiles).

Number of Seconds to Advance Conductivity Relative to Pressure:
Number of Seconds to Advance Temperature Relative to Pressure:

  Temperature (and conductivity) profiles are often systematically separated in depth between the upcast
  and downcast.  The causes are lags in the temperature (and conductivity) sensor response and
  hysteresis in the pressure measurement.  These can be compensated by shifting temperature and
  conductivity relative to pressure.  Because the SBE 19 uses a temperature sensor with a relatively slow
  time constant a typical correction for the SBE-19 PROFILER is an advance temperature relative to
  pressure of +0.5 seconds.  Because the time response of the SBE-3 temperature is fast (0.06 seconds)
  it is not necessary to advance temperature relative to pressure for the SBE 9 and SBE 25.

  For a given sensor configuration the conductivity measurement may lead or lag that of temperature. 
  This is especially true of SBE 19 PROFILER data where the flushing rate of the conductivity cell
  depends on drop speed.  If the profiler is lowered slowly, conductivity structure will lag temperature
  structure, while if it is lowered fast it will lead temperature.  For a SBE-19 PROFILER the advance
  of conductivity relative to temperature will range from 0 seconds at a lowering rate of 0.75 meters per
  second (0.75 decibars per second) to -0.6 seconds for 2 meters per second.

  For a SBE 9 CTD with ducted temperature and conductivity sensors and a 3000 rpm pump the typical
  net advance of conductivity relative to temperature is 0.073 seconds.  If the SBE 11 is set to advance
  the primary conductivity 3 scans (3/24 seconds) the nominal value to advance conductivity relative to
  temperature with ALIGNCTD is -0.52 seconds (3/24 - 0.052 = 0.073 seconds).  If the SBE 11 is set
  to advance the primary conductivity 1.75 scans (factory setting for the SBE 11plus) the nominal value
  to advance conductivity relative to temperature with ALIGNCTD is 0.00 seconds (1.75/24 = 0.073
  seconds).  The SBE 11 and 11plus deck units do not advance the secondary conductivity.

  Note that if temperature is advanced relative to pressure and you do not want to change the relative
  timing of temperature and conductivity you must add the same advance to conductivity.

  The best diagnostic of proper alignment is the elimination of salinity spikes that coincide with very
  sharp temperature steps.  To determine the best alignment plot 10 meters of temperature and salinity
  data at a very sharp temperature step.  For the down trace, when the mean gradients are positive
  (temperature and salinity increasing upward) a negative salinity spike at the temperature step means
  that conductivity leads temperature (the conductivity sensor "sees" the step before the temperature
  sensor does) and you will need to advance conductivity relative to temperature a negative number of
  seconds.  Conversely if the salinity spikes are positive, advance conductivity relative to temperature
  a positive number of seconds.  The best alignment is obtained when the salinity spikes are minimized.

  Some experimentation with different advances will be required to find the best alignment.

  When using free flushing conductivity sensors, we recommend that the profiling speed be kept greater
  than 0.7 meters per second because of thermal contamination of the conductivity measurement at lower
  speeds.

  Example (typical of SBE 19 data):

     If we wish to advance conductivity 0.2 seconds relative to temperature and we wish to advance
     temperature +0.5 seconds relative to pressure.  We would enter:

     Num seconds to advance conductivity relative to pressure = 0.7
     Num seconds to advance temperature relative to pressure = 0.5

Number of Seconds to Advance Oxygen Relative to Pressure:

  Oxygen data are also systematically delayed with respect to depth.  The two primary reasons are the
  long time constant of the oxygen sensor (ranging from 2 seconds at 25 C to about 5 seconds at 0 C)
  and an additional delay from the transit time of water in the pumped plumbing line.  As with
  temperature and conductivity, this delay is compensated by shifting oxygen data relative to pressure. 
  If 0 is entered the relative timing between oxygen and the remaining parameters is not changed.  A
  typical correction for the SBE-19 PROFILER is an advance of +6 seconds, and for the SBE-9 CTD
  it is an advance of about +3 seconds.

BINAVG: DESCRIPTION OF ALGORITHM

Values set to bad_flag by WILDEDIT are not included in the average.  If the number of points included
in the average is zero the average value is set to bad_flag.

If Exclude Scans Marked Bad = NO all scans are considered 'good'.

The center value of the first bin is set equal to the bin size.

Scan Number or Time Bins:

  N = scans per bin
  N = bin size; bin type = scans
  N = bin size / interval; bin type = seconds
  N = bin size * 3600 / interval; bin type = hours

  If the bin type is scans N 'good' scans are averaged.

  If the bin type is seconds or hours N scans are read; only the scans marked 'good' are included in the
  average.

Pressure Bins (No Interpolation):

  For each bin:
     
  BinMin = center value - binSize / 2
  BinMax = center value + binsize / 2
  
  Scans with pressure > BinMin and pressure <= BinMax are added to the average.  If pressure >
  BinMax the sums are divided by the number of points and the averages are written to the output file. 
  The center value for the next bin is then computed and the values for the scan are added to the next
  bin.

  If Exclude Scans Marked Bad = YES,  scans with the flag field set to bad_flag (by LOOPEDIT) are
  skipped over.  One exception is the surface bin which will always include these values.


Pressure Bins (with interpolation):

  For each bin:
     
  BinMin = center value - binSize / 2
  BinMax = center value + binsize / 2
  
  Scans with pressure > BinMin and pressure <= BinMax are added to the average.  If pressure >
  BinMax the sums are divided by the number of points and the interpolation is done as follows:

  Pp =  average pressure of the previous bin
  Xp =  average value of the variable in the previous bin
  Pc =  average pressure of the current bin
  Xc =  average value of the variable in the current bin
  Pi =  target or center value for pressure in the bin
  Xi =  interpolated value for the variable (value it would have at the center pressure)

  Xi = ( (Xc - Xp) * (Pi - Pp) / (Pc - Pp) ) + Xp

  The interpolated values are computed and stored in the output file.

  Interpolated values for the first bin are computed after the averages for the second bin are calculated. 
  In this case the target is first set to the center of the first bin.  The interpolated values for the first bin
  are calculated and stored.  The target is then set to the center of the second bin.  The interpolated
  values for the second bin are then calculated and stored.


Depth Bins:

  Depth bins are processed the same as pressure bins with interpolation except that the tests to determine
  whether the scan is in the bin are made on depth rather than pressure.


Include Surface Bin:

  The Include Surface Bin flag is ignored when averaging is by scan or time bins.

  If Include Surface Bin is set to NO the center of the first bin is set equal to the bin size.

  Otherwise all scans with pressure values that are > surface minimum and <= surface maximum are
  added to the surface bin.  As soon as a scan is found with a pressure value > BinMin the surface
  values are averaged and this value is used as the first bin.  The target for the surface bin is set to 0.0.


The first bin is the bin size.  Use the -c command line option to change the center value of the first bin
for pressure or depth bins.  For example if the bin size is 10 decibars:

  first bin = 10 decibars, includes data greater than 5 db and less than or equal to 15 db.
  second bin = 20 decibars, includes data greater than 15 db and less than or equal to 25 db.
  third bin = 30 decibars, includes data greater than 25 db and less than or equal to 35 db.

  If binavg -c5 is entered to start BINAVG the center of the first bin is set to 5 decibars:

  first bin = 5 decibars, includes data greater than 0 db and less than or equal to 10 db.
  second bin = 15 decibars, includes data greater than 10 db and less than or equal to 20 db.
  third bin = 25 decibars, includes data greater than 20 db and less than or equal to 30 db.

  If binavg -c15 is entered to start BINAVG and Include Surface Bin is set to Yes with surface minimum
  = 2 db and surface maximum = 8 db, then:

  surface bin = 5 decibars, includes data > 2 db and <= 8 db.
  first bin = 15 decibars, includes data greater than 10 db and less than or equal to 20 db.
  second bin = 25 decibars, includes data greater than 20 db and less than or equal to 30 db.
  third bin = 35 decibars, includes data greater than 30 db and less than or equal to 40 db.

8.5  BUOYANCY

Description:

Calculates buoyancy (Brunt-V„is„l„) frequency (N) and stability (E) using the Fofonoff adiabatic leveling
method (Bray N. A. and N. P. Fofonoff (1981) Available potential energy for MODE eddies.  Journal
of Physical Oceanography, 11, 30-46.).  The input .CNV file must have been processed with BINAVG
on pressure bins and must contain pressure, temperature, and either salinity or conductivity.  The
relationship between BUOYANCY (Brunt-V„is„l„) frequency N and stability E is:



where g = gravity [m / s2]

The algorithm used to compute N2 for the pressure value centered in the window is:

1.  Compute averages:

  p_bar = average pressure in the window  [decibars]
  t_bar = average temperature in the window [deg C]
  s_bar = average salinity in the window  [PSU]
  rho_bar = density(s_bar, t_bar, p_bar)  [Kg / m3]

2.Compute the vertical gradient:

  theta = potential temperature (s, t, p, p_bar)
  v = 1 / density(s, theta, p_bar)

  Use a least squares fit to compute the linear gradient dv/dp in the window
3.Compute N2, N, E, and 10-8E:

BUOYANCY converts the window size from decibars to scans based on the pressure interval between
scans in the input file.  If the window size is less than three scans BUOYANCY sets it to three scans. 
If the window size is an even number of scans BUOYANCY adds one scan to the window size. 
Example:  If the interval between scans in the input file is 10 decibars, window sizes of 5, 10, and 20
decibars will result in a window size of three scans.  Window sizes of 30, and 40 decibars will result in
a window size of five scans.

The variable used in buoyancy computation can be latitude (BUOYANCY will estimate the local gravity
from the latitude using the algorithm in UNESCO Technical Papers in Marine Science No. 44.) or user
entered gravity.The number of variables added to the .CNV file can be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.  Highlight the Variables to be

Typical values for a SBE 911plus TC ducted conductivity cell (3000 rpm pump) are:

  alpha = 0.03
  1/beta = 7.0

Typical values for a SBE 25 TC ducted conductivity cell (2000 rpm pump) are:

  alpha = 0.04
  1/beta = 8.0

The algorithm used is:

  dt = temperature - previous temperature
  ctm = -1.0 * b * previous ctm + a * dcdt * dt
  corrected conductivity = c + ctm

where:
  a = 2 * alpha / (sample interval * beta + 2)
  b = 1 - (2 * a / alpha)
  dcdt = 0.1 * (1 + 0.006 * (temperature - 20))

A discussion of how to determine the values for alpha and beta can be found in:

  Society, Oct 1990, 741-755.

The density contours are computed using the specified temperature, salinity, and reference pressure.
To add density contours to a TS plot:

  Run CONTOUR to generate the density contours.
  Run SEAPLOT to select the variables and plot format.
     (set X-AXIS #1 variable to none to make room for the density contour labels)
  Run SEAPLOT with the -vfilename option to select overlaid plots.
  Include the file with the .CTR extension in the list of files in filename.

Example:

  if the file tslist contained two lines:

     cast1
     ts1.ctr

  then seaplot -vtslist would plot CAST1.CNV and overlay TS1.CTR on the plot

Choose 'Scans Marked with Bottle Confirm Bit' from the menu if you are using a SBE 911plus with a
water sampler (rosette) interface.  In this case the bottle confirm bit will be set for 1.5 seconds when a
confirmation is received from the rosette.  You will be prompted for the offset and duration.  The offset
determines the first scan output to the .ROS file for the bottle.  The duration determines the number of
scans output to the .ROS file for the bottle.  The offset and duration are referenced to the first confirm
bit for the bottle.  For example if the scan rate is 24 scans per second, 36 scans in a row have the
confirm bit set beginning with scan 10,000, offset = -2 seconds and duration = 5 seconds then scans
9,952 through 10,072 will be written to the .ROS file for this bottle.

If you are not using a SBE 911plus with a water sampler interface select 'Bottle Scan Range File [.BSR]'
or 'Bottle Log File [BL.] as the source of scan range.  DATCNV will read the .BSR or .BL file to
determine the scans to output to the .ROS file.

If you are using a SBE 90208 Carousel Auto Fire Module select 'Auto-Fire Module File [.AFM]'. 
DATCNV will merge data from the .HEX file and .AFM file into the .ROS file.  You will be prompted
for the offset and duration.  The offset is relative to the first scan recorded by the Auto-Fire Module (five
scans before the bottle is tripped.  The duration determines the number of scans output to the .ROS file
for the bottle.

If you select Bottle Scan Range File [.BSR] or Bottle Log File[.BL] and bottle confirm bits are set in the
raw data file, the data from the .BSR file will be used and the bottle confirm bits will be ignored.

If you have used the Mark Scan feature in SEASAVE during data acquisition to create a .MRK file you
can use the module MARKSCAN to create a .BSR file from the .MRK file.

A Bottle Log file is created when bottles are fired and data is stored to disk.

The format for the .BSR file is:

beginning scan number for bottle #1 , ending scan number for bottle # 1
beginning scan number for bottle #2 , ending scan number for bottle # 2
...
beginning scan number for the last bottle , ending scan number for the last bottle

for example the file TEST.BSR could contain:

1000, 1020
2000, 2020
4000, 4020

The .ROS file created using TEST.BSR would contain scans 1000 to 1020 for bottle #1, 2000, 2020 for
bottle #2, and 4000 t0 4020 for bottle #3.


8.10.3  DATCNV: NOTES

If you plan to do any post processing of the data select only the primary variables to be converted.  Use
the SEASOFT module DERIVE to compute derived oceanographic parameters such as salinity, density,
sound velocity, oxygen, and dynamic height anomaly.

If you will use BINAVG with depth bins include depth in the output file.

If you will use BINAVG with pressure bins include pressure in the output file.

If you will use DERIVE to compute salinity, density, or other parameters that depend on salinity include
pressure, temperature, and conductivity in the output file.

DATCNV was written to accommodate most if not all of the sensors that have been installed on Sea-Bird
products.  Consult the configuration page at the beginning of your hardware manual for the sensors that
were installed in your system.

If you will use DERIVE to compute oxygen, include oxygen current and oxygen temperature in the
output file along with pressure, temperature, and conductivity.

Pressure temperature is computed using a backward looking 30 second running average in order to
prevent bit transitions in pressure temperature from causing small jumps in computed pressure.  Because
the heavily insulated pressure sensor has a thermal time constant on the order of one hour the 30 second
average does not significantly alter the computed pressure temperature.

Oxygen values computed by SEASAVE and DATCNV will be somewhat different from oxygen values
computed by DERIVE.  This is because the oxygen algorithm uses the parameter doc/dt (the derivative
of oxygen current with respect to time).  SEASAVE and DATCNV compute this parameter looking
backwards in time since they share common code and SEASAVE can not use future values of oxygen
current while acquiring data in real time.  DERIVE uses a centered window (equal number of points
before and after the scan) to obtain a better estimate of doc/dt.  SEASAVE and DATCNV can be used
to obtain a quick look of oxygen values, DERIVE should be used to obtain the most accurate oxygen
computations.

Oxygen sensors normally measure two parameters, oxygen membrane current and oxygen membrane
temperature.  In previous versions of SEASOFT oxygen was assigned to a data word while other sensors
such as transmissometers were assigned to individual voltages.  In SEASOFT there are two voltages in
a data word.  If oxygen were assigned to word 3, oxygen current voltage would appear on voltage 0 and
oxygen temperature voltage would appear on voltage 1.

Description:

DERIVE uses pressure, temperature, and conductivity in the converted data file to compute the following
oceanographic parameters:

  density (density, sigma-theta, sigma-t, sigma-1, sigma-2, sigma-4)

  depth (salt water, fresh water)

  dynamic meters

  geopotential anomaly

  potential temperature (reference pressure = 0.0 decibars)

  potential temperature anomaly

  salinity

  sound velocity (Chen-Millero, DelGrosso, Wilson)

  average sound velocity

  specific volume anomaly

  thermosteric anomaly

If the input converted data file has not been averaged into pressure or depth bins DERIVE can compute
lowering rate and acceleration.

Oxygen will be added to the variable list if the input file has not been averaged into pressure or depth
bins and the input file contains pressure, temperature and either conductivity or salinity.


Definitions:

  Temperature used for derived variables is IPTS-68.  Following the recommendation of JPOTS T68 is
  assumed to be 1.00024 * T90 (-2 to 35 øC)

  Salinity is PSS-78
  
  Density is calculated based on the equation of state for seawater (EOS80).

The formulas for the computation of salinity, density, potential temperature, specific volume anomaly,
and sound velocity were obtained from "Algorithms for computation of fundamental properties of
seawater", by N.P. Fofonoff and R.C Millard Jr.; Unesco technical papers in marine science #44, 1983

(density of sea water with salinity s, temperature t, and pressure p)


(Potential temperature is the temperature an element of seawater would have if raised adiabatically with
no change in salinity to reference pressure pr.  DATCNV, DERIVE, and SEACALC use a reference
pressure of 0 decibars).

or

The constants a0 and a1 and the salinity/density selection are entered when potential temperature anomaly
is selected from the variable to display menu.










dynamic meters = geopotential anomaly / 10.0

one dynamic meter = 10 J / Kg;  (Sverdup, Johnson, Flemming (1946), UNESCO (1991))



  Average sound velocity is the average sound velocity from the surface to the current CTD depth.  This
  value is calculated on the downcast only and is not updated on the upcast.  The first window begins
  when pressure is greater than the minimum specified pressure and salinity is greater than the minimum
  specified salinity.  The sums are updated when both pressure and time (referred to the last sum) are
  greater than the specified window sizes.  AvgSV is the average sound velocity in the current window.

The derivative terms (doc/dt, lowering rate, and acceleration) are computed by looking at data centered
around the current data point with a time span equal to the window size and using a linear regression to
determine the slope.

8.12  FILTER

Description:

Filter permits the user to low pass filter one or more columns of data.  In order to produce zero phase
(no time shift) the filter is first run forward through the file and then run backwards through the file. 
Two time constants can be specified so that conductivity and pressure can be filtered with different time
constants in one invocation of FILTER.  The set up form for FILTER is:

The minimum velocity selection can be either Fixed Minimum Velocity of Percent of Mean Speed.
Fixed Minimum Velocity:

  If the CTD velocity is less than the specified minimum or the pressure is not greater than the previous
  maximum  the scan is marked "bad".

Percent of Mean Speed:

  You will be prompted for the Time Window Size and Percent of Mean Speed.  For each scan the
  mean speed over the last Time Window seconds is computed.  If the CTD velocity is less than the
  specified percent of mean speed or the pressure is not greater than the previous maximum  the scan
  is marked "bad".  The entry for Fixed Minimum Velocity is used for data points in the first time
  window.

beginning scan number for bottle #2 , ending scan number for bottle # 2
...
beginning scan number for the last bottle , ending scan number for the last bottle

An ASCII text editor can be used to create the .BSR file; the beginning and ending scan numbers must
be separated by a comma.8.15  ROSSUM

ROSSUM is a utility that reads in a .ROS file created by DATCNV and writes out a summary of the
bottle data to a file with a .BTL extension.  Temperature, pressure, and conductivity or salinity must be
contained in the .ROS file.  Lines beginning with a '*' or '#' are copied from the .ROS header.  Bottle
position, optional bottle serial number, and date/time are always output as the first columns.  The derived
variables are computed from the mean values of temperature, pressure and conductivity.  

If a .BL file (same name as the input data file but with a .BL extension) is found in the input file path,
ROSSUM will use the bottle position data from the .BL file.

If the file "BOTTLE.SN" is found in the current directory or a bottle serial number file is specified by
the -b<bottleSNfilename> command line option, bottle serial numbers are inserted between the bottle
position and date/time.  The format for the bottle serial number file is:

  bottle position, serial number
  bottle position, serial number
  bottle position, serial number

a comma separates the two fields.

If oxygen current and oxygen temperature are in the .ROS file, oxygen can be calculated.  Doc/dt is a
least squares fit to all the oxygen current data for each bottle.  Oxygen is calculated using the mean
values for temperature, pressure, and salinity, doc/dt, and the scan by scan values of oxygen current and
oxygen temperature.

The maximum number of scans processed per bottle is 1440.

Pressure Sensor Type:

  Most SBE 9 based CTD systems have a paroscientific digiquartz pressure sensor.  If your pressure
  sensor calibration sheet contains only C, D, and T0 coefficients you do not have temperature
  compensation.  If the pressure sensor calibration sheet contains C1, C2, C3, D1, T1, T2, and T3
  coefficients you do have temperature compensation.

  CTDs manufactured after December 1988 included a high resolution period counter for the pressure
  channel.  If you have this option the SBE 9 underwater configuration sheet will indicate 'high
  resolution pressure'.

Number of Data Words:

  See the SBE 9 underwater unit configuration sheet


Number of 12 bit A/D channels:

  The number of frequency channels is:

     3, no redundant temperature or conductivity channels built in
     4, one redundant temperature or conductivity channel built in
     5, redundant temperature and conductivity channels built in
  The number of 12 bit A/D channels is:

     (number of data words - number of frequency channels - 1) * 2

Underwater Unit Scan Rate:

  See the SBE 9 underwater unit configuration sheet

Computer Interface:

  Choose IEEE-488 (GPIB) or RS-232C according to how the SBE 11 Deck unit is connected to the
  computer.

  Answer Yes only if the SBE11 has the surface PAR option installed and the SBE11 microprocessor
  board DIP switch S3 position 8 is set to OFF.

Append System Time to Every Scan

  If this entry is Yes, Seasave will append 4 bytes of system time read from the PC to each scan as it
  is received from the SBE 11plus deck unit.  System time is seconds since January 1, 1970.

Lat/Lon Data Added by NMEA Interface

  Answer YES only if the optional NMEA interface is installed in the SBE 11plus and it is connected
  to a NMEA interface.  If this selection is set to YES SEASAVE will automatically add the current
  latitude, longitude, and universal time code to the data header.  Select SEASAVE Misc Run Paramters

In order to conserve memory the SBE 25 has the ability to select the number of external voltages that are
sampled.  Once these external voltages have been selected they are mapped into stored voltages.  In the
context of this discussion the Stored voltages in the SEACON data format for the SBE 25 are the stored
voltage numbers as reported in the SBE 25 display status reply.  Consult the configuration page in your
SBE 25 manual for additional information.

The number of external voltages and the data format must agree with how the SBE 25 has been
programmed.  Compare the SEACON setup with the display status reply from the instrument.

The firmware version lets SEASAVE and DATCNV know how to decode the HEX data from the
instrument and can be determined from the configuration sheet in the instrument manual or from the
display status reply from the instrument.


The real time data output rate is used to calculate elapsed time while acquiring real time data.

The SBE 33 Carousel Deck unit or SBE 36 CTD Deck Unit can be set up to add Latitude/Longitude and,
or Surface PAR data to the HEX data stream from the SBE 19.  Set these fields to correspond to the

8.17.9  SEACON: CHANGE CALIBRATION COEFFICIENTS

When finished editing the instrument configuration press the Esc key to return to the SEACON main
menu and select Change Calibration Coefficients.


8.17.9.1  TEMPERATURE

For the temperature sensor(s) you will be prompted for the sensor serial number, f0, a, b, c, and d. 
Enter these values from the temperature sensor calibration sheet.  The prompt for 'slope' and 'offset'
allows you to make small corrections for temperature drift between calibrations.  For newly calibrated
sensors use slope = 1.0, offset = 0.0.  The correction formula is:

  (corrected temperature) = slope * (computed temperature) + offset

whereslope = (true temperature span) / (instrument temperature span)
     offset = (true temperature - instrument reading) * slope; measured at 0.0 Celsius

As an example of computing the correction coefficients, if we had the following calibration data:

  true temperature0.0 C 25.0 C
  instrument reading0.0015 C25.0005 C

  slope = (25.0 - 0.0) / (25.0020 - 0.0015)  =  1.000040002
  offset = (0.0 - 0.0015) * (1.000040001)  =  -0.001500060

If the span error is less than +/- 0.01 then the following approximations are valid: (offset correction) =
 -(offset error), and (slope correction) = 1.0 / (1.0 + span error).

The Sea-Bird temperature sensors usually drift by changing offset.  Changes are typically toward higher
temperature with time for sensors with serial numbers <1050 and toward lower temperature with time
for serial numbers >1050.  Many years of experience with hundreds of sensors indicates that the drift
is smooth and uniform with time allowing users to make very accurate corrections based only on pre- and
post-cruise laboratory calibrations.  Calibration checks at-sea are advisable to insure against sensor
malfunction, however, data from reversing thermometers is rarely accurate enough to make calibration
corrections that are better than those possible by shore-based laboratory calibrations.

The temperature sensors rarely exhibit span errors larger than 0.005 C over the range -5 to 35 C even
after years of drift.  A span error that increases by more than +/- 0.0002 [C per C per year] is
symptomatic of sensor malfunction.  However in the past, some calibrations have been delivered that
include span errors up to 0.004 C in 30 C (span error of 0.000133) (approximately zero error at 15 C)
because of undetected systematic errors in calibration.

Sea-Bird Application Note 31 discusses how to compute slope and offset correction coefficients from pre-
and post-cruise calibrations supplied by Sea-Bird (NRCC).
8.17.9.2  CONDUCTIVITY

For conductivity sensor(s) you will be prompted for the sensor serial number, calibration date, and
coefficients m, a, b, c, and d.  Enter these values from the conductivity sensor calibration sheet.  You
can also change the values for 'cpcor', 'slope', and 'offset'.  Typical default values are:

  cpcor = -9.57e-08
  slope = 1.0
  offset = 0.0

'cpcor' corrects for the compression of the cell while 'slope' and 'offset' correct for sensor drift between
calibrations.  An explanation of these coefficients and how to compute alternate values follows.

The 'cpcor' coefficient makes a correction for the highly consistent change in dimensions of the
conductivity cell under pressure.  For almost all conductivity cells and sensor applications use the default
value, cpcor = -9.57e-8.  Previous to Seasoft Version 4.209 'cpcor' was "hidden" in software and set
to the compressibility coefficient for borosilicate glass (cpcor = -9.57e-8) in accord with the behavior
of most cells.

From Version 4.209 forward 'cpcor' is variable to accommodate the discovery that some of the
conductivity sensors fabricated between 1992 and 1995 exhibit a compression that is slightly less than
pure borosilicate glass.  For these sensors the (hermetic) epoxy jacket on the glass cell is unintentionally
strong and the cell exhibits a composite pressure effect of borosilicate and epoxy.  For all sensors
measured to date the composite pressure coefficient ranges between -9.57e-8 and -6.90e-8.  The most
extreme composite pressure coefficient produces a correction to deep ocean salinity which is different
from pure borosilicate glass by a magnitude of 0.0057 PSU in 5000 dbars pressure.

Before choosing 'cpcor' different from the default value, first confirm that your conductivity sensor has
a serial number in the range 1100 to 1500 and behaves differently from pure borosilicate glass.  A test
of your cell can be performed at Sea-Bird where the actual value of 'cpcor' can also be measured. 
Alternately it is possible to test cells at sea where the computed salinity from a conductivity sensor is
checked against the salinity of water samples from a range of depths.  With very high precision Autosal
work a linear error in salinity of typically less than 0.001 PSU per 1000 dbars can be detected and
corrected by changing the coefficient 'cpcor'.  For help or more information please contact Sea-Bird.

The coefficients 'slope' and 'offset' allow you to make small corrections for sensor drift between
calibrations.  For newly calibrated sensors use the default values slope = 1.0 and offset = 0.0.  The drift
correction formula for conductivity is:

  (corrected conductivity) = ....

  (corrected conductivity) = slope * (computed conductivity) + offset.

whereslope = (true conductivity span) / (instrument conductivity span)
     offset = (true conductivity - instrument reading) * slope; measured at 0.0 S/m

As an example of computing these correction coefficients, if we had the following calibration data:

  true conductivity0.0 S/m 3.5 S/m
  instrument reading-0.00007 S/m3.49965 S/m

  slope = (3.5 - 0.0) / (3.49965 - -0.00007)  =  +1.000080006
  offset = (0.0 - -0.00007) * 1.000080006  =  +0.000070006

If the span error is less than +/- 0.01 then the following approximations are valid:  (offset correction)
=
 -(offset error), and (slope correction) = 1.0 / (1.0 + span error).

The conductivity sensor usually drifts by changing span (the slope of the calibration curve).  Changes are
typically toward lower conductivity readings with time.  Offset error in conductivity (error at 0 S/m) is
usually due to electronics drift which is usually less than +/- 0.0001 S/m per year.  If offsets are greater
than +/- 0.0002 S/m it is symptomatic of sensor malfunction.  Sea-Bird therefore recommends that drift
corrections to conductivity be made by assuming no offset error, unless there is strong evidence to the
contrary, or a special need.

Sea-Bird Application Note 31 discusses how to compute slope and offset correction coefficients from pre-
and post-cruise calibrations supplied by Sea-Bird (NRCC), or from salinity bottle samples taken at sea
during CTD profiling.


8.17.9.3  PRESSURE

For the pressure sensor you will be prompted for the sensor type (Paroscientific digiquartz or Strain
gauge ) and serial number.

For the Digiquartz unit, enter the sets of C, D, and T coefficients listed on the calibration certificate. 
If the higher-order coefficients are not listed, enter zero.  The slope term will be equal to 1.0 unless the
sensor has been recalibrated by Sea-Bird or NRCC.

12 bit Paros Digiquartz temperature resolution is available for CTDs manufactured after February 1991. 
The SBE 9 underwater unit configuration sheet will indicate whether your instrument has 12 bit pressure
temperature resolution installed.  If it is present the correct coefficients for AD590M and AD590B will
be on the configuration sheet.

For CTDs with 8 bit Paros temperature resolution:
  AD590M = 0.0125
  AD590B = -10.0

For Sensometrics or Paine strain gauge units, enter A0, A1, and A2 coefficients.  For older units with
strain gauge pressure sensors that only have a linear fit for the pressure calibration, enter the M (A1) and
B (A0) coefficients from the pressure calibration sheet.  Set A2 to zero.

For either type offset is normally '0' but may be changed to cope with any non-zero sea-surface
condition.  If the in-air reading is negative, enter an equal positive value, etc.8.17.9.4  OXYGEN

You will be prompted for the oxygen sensor serial number, m, b, k, c, Soc, Boc, tcor, wt, pcor, and tau. 
m, b, k, c, tcor, wt, pcor, and tau are found on the Sea-Bird dissolved oxygen sensor calibration sheet. 
Use the values of Soc and Boc from the most recent calibration.
 

8.17.9.5  pH

Enter the serial number, offset, and slope from the calibration sheet or m and b determined from recent
calibration.  pH is calculated as:

  pH = 7 + (Vout - offset ) / (øK * 1.98416e-4 * slope)

  øK = temperature in degrees Kelvin.

SEASOFT versions less than 4.008 ignored the temperature compensation of the pH electrode and
calculated pH as:

  pHold = [Vref + ((Vout - B) / M))] (øK * 1.98416e-4)

Run pHfit version 2.0 (included with this version of SEASOFT) using the Vout, pH, and temperature
values from your original calibration sheet to compute the new values for offset and slope.

The relationship between the two methods is: pH = pHold + (7 - 2087 / øK)


8.17.9.6  LIGHT TRANSMISSION

Sea Tech:

Light Transmission (percent) = M * volts + B.

The data sheet supplied by SEA TECH indicates the air calibration voltage (approx 4.7 volts) and the
blocked path voltage (approx 0.0 volts).  These values along with the current air voltage and blocked path
voltage are used derive the M and B coefficients entered in SEACON.

  A0 is the AIR CALIBRATION voltage from the SEA TECH calibration sheet
  Y0 is the blocked path voltage from the SEA TECH calibration sheet

  A1 is the current air voltage
  Y1 is the current blocked path voltage

then M = 20(A0 - Y0)/(A1 - Y1)

and  B = -M Y1

For example, if the SEA TECH calibration gave the following values:

  A0 = 4.743 volts
  Y0 = 0.002 volts

and the current calibration gave:

  A1 = 4.719 volts
  Y1 = 0.006 volts

then

  M = 20(4.743 - 0.002)/(4.719 - 0.006) = 20.119
  B = -0.006 * 20.119 = -0.1207


Chelsea:

Light Transmission (percent) = M * volts + B.


8.17.9.7  FLUORESCENCE

Biospherical Natural Fluorometer:

  natural fluorescence Fn = CFn * 10V where

  CFn is the natural florescence calibration coefficient and V is the voltage from the natural fluorescence
  sensor.

  production = A1 * Fn / (A2 + PAR)

  chlorophyll concentration Chl = Fn / (B * PAR)

Chelsea:

SEASOFT versions less than 4.003:

  concentration [þg/l] = 10.0[(voltage / scale factor) - 2.0)] + offset

SEASOFT versions 4.003 to 4.204:

  concentration [þg/l] = 10.0[voltage/scale factor - offset]
  the nominal offset is 2.0. 

SEASOFT versions 4.205 and greater:

  concentration [þg/l] = slope * ((10.0(V / SF) - 10VB) / (10V1þg - 10Vacetone)) + offset

  VB, V1þg, and Vacetone are obtained from the Chelsea calibration sheet

  V is the output voltage measured by the CTD

  SF is a scale factor.  Set this to 1.0 if the CTD has a gain of 1.  SF should be set to 2.0 if the CTD
  has a gain of 2.0.

Chelsea Minitraka:

  concentration = (100 * (V - vacetoneBlank) / (vacetone100 - vacetoneBlank)) + offset

Seapoint Fluorometer:

  concentration = (V * 30 / gain) + offset

  Slope and offset:  Users may wish to "adjust" the fluorometer readings to conform to measured
  concentrations.  For example, from two in-situ samples and with the slope and offset set to 1.0 and
  0.0 respectively, a user might observe that SEASOFT indicated a concentration of 0.390 when the
  concentration determined from a water sample was 0.450, and 0.028 when the concentration
  determined from a water sample was 0.020.  A linear regression to these data would give "slope" =
  1.188 and "offset" = -0.013.  The introduction of these "fit" coefficients via SEACON would then
  correct the indicated concentrations.  In general, VB, V1æg/l, and Vacetone as listed on the original
  Chelsea factory calibration sheet can be used throughout the life of the instrument, with subsequent
  calibrations used to adjust slope and offset alone.

Dr Haardt fluorometer (all channels):

Dr. Haardt instruments may have automatic switching between high and low gains.  When entering
calibration coefficients select 'Output Voltage Level' if the instrument indicates gain by the output voltage
level (less thatn 2.5 volts is low gain; greater than 2.5 volts is high gain).  Select 'Modulo Bit' if the Dr.
Haardt instrument has control lines custom wired to bits in the SBE 9plus modulo word.  Select 'None'
if the Dr. Haardt instrument does not change gain.

  low range output = A0 + A1 * V
  high range output = B0 + B1 * V
 
  V = voltage from the sensor

Voltage level switching examples:

Chlorophyll a:
  low range scale is 10 mg/l, gain is 10/2.5 = 4mg/l / volt
     A0 = 0.0, A1 = 4.0
  high range scale is 100 mg/l, gain is 100/2.5 = 40mg/l / volt
     B0 = -100.0, B1 = 40.0
Yellow Substance:
  low range scale is 5 mg/l, gain is 5/2.5 = 2mg/l / volt
     A0 = 0.0, A1 = 2.0
  high range scale is 50 mg/l, gain is 50/2.5 = 20mg/l / volt
     B0 = -50.0, B1 = 20.0Sea Tech:

  concentration = [volts * scale factor / 5] + offset

Sea Tech fluorometers have internal switch-selectable ranges of (nominally) 0 - 3, 0 - 10, and 0 - 30
milligrams per cubic meter (milligrams per cubic meter are equal to micrograms/liter) and are supplied
by Sea-Tech set to the middle range.

If the CTD has a gain of 1.0 (default) enter a 'scale factor' of 3 for 3 mg m-3, 10 for 10 mg m-3, or 30
for 30 mg m-3.

If the CTD has a gain of 2.0 (custom) enter a 'scale factor' of 1.5 for 3 mg m-3, 5 for 10 mg m-3, or 15
for 30 mg m-3.

The value for 'offset' may be determined by measuring the fluorometer output when its light sensor is
completely blocked from the strobe light.  Block the fluorometer light path with a completely opaque
substance, (e.g., heavy black rubber) and record the resulting voltage.

Then: 'offset' = - 'scale factor' * voltage/5

Enter the calculated offset into SEACON.  Note that the 'offset' and 'scale factor' values may be adjusted
as desired to fit a linear regression of fluorometer responses to known chlorophyll a concentrations.

Turner 10-005

  fluorometer voltage is measured on one channel, range voltage is measured on a second voltage
  channel.

  if range < 0.2 volts, sf = 1.0
  if range >= 0.2 volts and < 0.55 volts, sf = 3.16
  if range >= 0.55 volts and < 0.85 volts, sf = 10.0
  if range >= 0.85 volts, sf = 31.0

Turner 10-AU-005

  concentration = (1.195 * voltage * (FSC - ZPC)) / FSV + ZPC

  voltage = measured output voltage from the fluorometer
  
  FSV = full scale output voltage, typically 5.0 volts.
  
  FSC = full scale concentration

  ZPC = zero point concentration
8.17.9.8  NEPHELOMETER

Chelsea nephelometer:

  turbidity = (10.0V - C) / scale factor   [F.T.U.]

  C = clear water value
  V = voltage from the sensor

IFREMER nephelometer:

  Diffusion = (k * (vm - vm0) / (vd - vd0) ) - d0

  vm = measured voltagevm0 = measured voltage offset
  vd = direct voltage vd0 = direct voltage offset
  k = scale factor    d0 = diffusion offset


8.17.9.9  IRRADIANCE (PAR)

SEASOFT calculates PAR = (multiplier * (109 * 10(V - B) / M) / calibration constant) + offset

When using a light sensor with a built in log amplifier (Biospherical model QSP-200L):

  M = 1.0 (or 2.0 if the CTD voltage channel has a gain of 2)

  B = 0.0

  Otherwise enter the M and B values from the Sea-Bird log amplifier calibration sheet.

  The multiplier can be used to scale the output and is typically set to 1.0.

Biospherical PAR Sensors:

  calibration constant = 105 / Biospherical Wet Calibration Factor

LICOR PAR sensors:

  calibration constant = LICOR in water calibration constant

8.18  SEAPLOT

Description:

SEAPLOT is used to plot converted data files.  The plotted data can be screen dumped to a dot matrix
or LaserJet II or III printer, or plotted on a HP 7475A/7550A/7440A plotter, HP LaserJet III or 4
printer, or other printers such as the HP DeskJet 1200C that support the HP GL/2 plotting language. 
Fluorescence and PAR are plotted on a log scale.  The command line option -l will force fluorescence
to be plotted on a linear scale.

The main set up form for SEAPLOT is:

The plotted line types can be connected, dots, or scalable dots.  For salable dots a radius of one will plot
a standard size dot, a radius of four will plot a dot that is four times as big a a standard dot.  Plotting
with scalable dots is much slower than plotting with standard dots and will be useful when plotting
averaged files or overlaying a sparse data data set on a plot (such as bottle data on a CTD trace).

If automatic paging is set to yes SEAPLOT will draw a new screen each time the Y axis data is greater
than the Y axis maximum.  The new Y axis minimum will be the previous maximum.  The new Y axis
maximum will be two times the old maximum minus the old minimum.

Select HP LaserJet III when using any printer that supports the HP GL/2 programming language. 
SEAPLOT assumes that screen dumps are sent to LPT1.  Use the Plotter Communication set up form
to configure the plotter for COM1, COM2, LPT1, or LPT2.

If COM1 or COM2 is selected SEAPLOT assumes that the plotter supports XON/XOFF software
handshaking.  If your plotter does not support software handshaking and you wish to use a serial port use
the -o<filename> command line option to send the output to a file rather than the plotter.  To otput the
file:

  1. Use the PC to plotter cable defined in the plotter manual.

  2. Use the DOS mode command to configure the serial port:

     mode com1:96,n,8,1

     will configure COM1 for 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and one stop bit

  2. copy the file to the comm port

     copy filename com1:

     will copy the file output by SEAPLOT to the comm port

The -o command line option can be used to send the output to a file rather than the plotter.


8.18.4  SEAPLOT: INTERACTIVE MULTI-FILE OVERLAYS

1.  Display the first file.
2.  Press <Ctrl-F7> to initialize interactive mode and copy the CRT display to a temporary file.
3.  Press <Esc> to return to the main setup form and select a new file.
4.  Press <F10> and answer yes to the prompt to display the second file.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add more overlaid files.

To start over:

1.  Select a new file and press <F10> to display it.
2.  Answer no to the overlay prompt.
3.  Press <Ctrl-F7> to capture the new file.8.18.5  SEAPLOT: BATCH MODE MULTI-FILE OVERLAYS

First run SEAPLOT to set up the axis and plotting parameters and then use a flat text editor to create a
file that contains the names of the files you want to overlay, one file name per line.  The last line must
end with a carriage return.

Run SEAPLOT with the -v command line option.

Example:

  if the file castlist contains three lines:cast1
                                 cast2
                                 cast10

  then seaplot -vcastlist will overlay the files CAST1.CNV, CAST2.CNV, and CAST10.CNV


8.18.6  SEAPLOT: DENSITY CONTOURS ON TS PLOTS

Run CONTOUR to generate a density contour file (.CTR extension).

Run SEAPLOT to select the variables and plot format, select none for X-AXIS #1 to leave room for the
density contour labels.  The usual selections are:

  Y AXIS: temperature or potential temperature
  X-AXIS #1:  none
  X-AXIS #2:  salinity
  X-AXIS #3:  none
  X-AXIS #4:  none

Run SEAPLOT with the -vfilename option to select overlaid plots.
Include the file with the .CTR extension in the list of files in filename.

Example:

  if the file tslist contained two lines:
     cast1
     ts1.ctr
  then seaplot -vtslist would plot CAST1.CNV and overlay TS1.CTR on the plot

A screen dump showing density contours on a TS plot is shown below:


























8.18.7  SEAPLOT: BATCH MODE WATERFALL PLOTS

Waterfall plots allow the user to plot several files with an offset added to each file.  The procedure for
displaying and plotting waterfall plots is similar to overlaid plots except that the command line is

  seaplot -wfilename

and the first line in the file specifying the list of files to be plotted must contain:

  OFFSET: O1  O2  O3  O4

     O1 is the amount to separate the X-AXIS #1 variables
     O2 is the amount to separate the X-AXIS #2 variables
     O3 is the amount to separate the X-AXIS #3 variables
     O4 is the amount to separate the X-AXIS #4 variables

The last line must end with a carriage return.

If labels for each file are desired include the keyword LABEL: on the second line and set X-AXIS #1
variable type to none.  (A colon ':' must follow LABEL without any spaces.)
If LABEL: is included on the second line and an optional label follows the filename the label will be
used, otherwise the file name will be used as the label.

Examples:

  if the file contains 4 lines:OFFSET: 1.0 .5 0 0 0
                        cast1
                        cast2
                        cast5

  CAST1.CNV, CAST2.CNV, and CAST5.CNV will be plotted.
  X-AXIS #1 variables will be separated by 1.
  X-AXIS #2 variables will be separated by 0.5.
  X-AXIS #3 and #4 variables will be overlaid.
  None of the files will be labeled.

  if the file contains 5 lines:OFFSET: 0 .5 0 0 0
                        LABEL:
                        cast1
                        cast2
                        cast5

  CAST1.CNV, CAST2.CNV, and CAST5.CNV will be plotted.
  X-AXIS #1 variables will be overlaid.
  X-AXIS #2 variables will be separated by 0.5.
  X-AXIS #3 and #4 variables will be overlaid.
  The variables will be labeled cast1, cast2, and cast3.

  if the file contains 5 lines:OFFSET: 0 .5 0 0 0
                        LABEL:
                        cast1  24sep92
                        cast2  25sep92
                        cast5  1oct92

  CAST1.CNV, CAST2.CNV, and CAST5.CNV will be plotted.
  X-AXIS #1 variables will be overlaid.
  X-AXIS #2 variables will be separated by 0.5.
  X-AXIS #3 and #4 variables will be overlaid.
  The variables will be labeled 24sep92, 25sep92, and 1oct92.
A sample waterfall plot with offsets and labels is shown below:  This plot was created by running

  seaplot -wwlist

the file wlist contains 5 lines:OFFSET: 0 1 0 0
                        LABEL:
                        30-2   cast1
                        34-8   cast2
                        39-16  cast3


























8.18.7  SEAPLOT: BATCH MODE COLOR SELECTION

The parameter -c<variableIndex><colorIndex> can be added after the file name in waterfall or
overlay file lists to specify the color for each variable.  The variableIndex can be 1, 2, 3, or 4
corresponding to X-Axis variables 1-4.  The colorIndex can be 0 through 14.  Up to four color selections
can be specified for each file name.  The mapping is:

0: Blue      1: Brown      2: Cyan    3: Dark Gray
4: Green     5: Intense White6: Light Blue7: Light Cyan
8: Light Green9: Light Magenta10: Light Red11: Magenta
12: Red      13: White     14: Yellow

Example:

  if the file castlist contains two lines:

     cast1 -c10 -c213 -c314
     cast2 -c11 -c27 -c38

  then seaplot -vcastlist

will overlay the files CAST1.CNV, and CAST2.CNV with the following colors:


        X-AXIS #1  X-AXIS #2  X-AXIS #3
  
  cast1 Light Red  White   Yellow

  cast2 Magenta    Light Cyan Light Green

The format of the ASCII data output is selected in the menu for scrolled or fixed display.  The variables
listed in the scrolled or fixed display menu are output from the port in the order in which they appear.

If you are not using the ASCII output features be sure to set the Output ASCII Data and Send Data to
SBE 14 Remote Pressure Display fields to No.  If either field is set to Yes SEASAVE will transmit data
to the port even if nothing is attached to it.

To change the ASCII data output serial port configuration:
  select 'ASCII Data output Port', select the desired COMM port, and then press <Enter>.  You will
  then be able to select the baud rate, parity, and number of stop bits.

If you are sending ASCII data to a line printer you can press <Ctrl-P> to suspend/resume the output.

The remote display output data type can be pressure (with minimum and maximum pressure alarms),
altimeter height, or altimeter height alternating with either depth or pressure.  If altimeter height
alternating with depth/pressure is chosen then pressure/depth is displayed with four digits and altimeter
height is displayed with three digits.  If LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3 is specified for the remote display
interface, a parallel to serial adapter must be used to convert the parallel data from the computer to 300
baud serial data for the remote display.  The parallel to serial converter must supply 7 to 12 volts on the
DB-25 connector pin 20 (Data Terminal Ready) to power the remote display.

When using an altimeter set the 'Min Pressure to Enable ..' to a value greater than 20 meters.  This
prevents SEASAVE from sending alarm on/off commands to the SBE 11 when the system enters the
water.  The alarm will be enabled when the pressure is greater than the minimum pressure.

When using the CTD pressure sensor to control the SBE 11 alarm set 'Enable SBE 11 Deck Unit Alarm
on Minimum Pressure' to YES and then select the SBE 11 Deck Unit Alarm Parameters' subform.

The alarm will be enabled when the pressure is greater than the value for:

  Pressure to Enable Alarm [db] =

The alarm will sound when the pressure is less than:

  Sound alarm when pressure is less than [db] =

And the alarm has been enabled.

Number of Seconds Between Screen Updates controls how often data is converted to engineering units
and sent to the fixed, scrolled, or X-Y plot displays.

If the Header Choice is Prompt for Header Information, the header form will be displayed at the start
of data acquisition for the operator to fill out.  The filled out header along with system time, instrument
type, and serial numbers will be written to the beginning of the data file and output to a file with a .HDR
extension.

If the Header Choice is include default header only the header form, system time, and serial number
information will be written to the data file.

If the Header Choice is don't include header, the header form will not be written out.

Highlight the Header Form field and press the Enter key to modify the header prompts.  Enter the desired
header prompts here.  The responses to the prompts will be filled out at the start of data acquisition.

Mark Parameters:

  Highlight this field and press the Enter key to select the variables that will be written to the marker
  file (.MRK) extension.  Each time Ctrl-F5 is pressed while acquiring data with SEASAVE one scan
  with the mark number, system time and the selected variables is written to the .MRK file.

Number of Scans to Average in the Deck Unit:

  This field will appear only if the instrument type is SBE 9/11, 911plus, or SBE 31.
  For full rate data set this field to 1.

  If the CTD scan rate is 24 scans per second and number of scans to average is set to 24 the SBE 11
  deck unit will average the data and transmit it to the computer at one scan per second.

Water Sampler Type:

  This field will appear only if the instrument type is SBE 911plus.  Connect one of the computer
  COMM ports to the modem port on the SBE 11plus Deck unit to trip water sampler bottles without
  interrupting the CTD data.
  
  SBE Carousel Water Sampler:

     Select sequential, user defined, or table driven firing sequence.  If user defined firing sequence
     is selected you will be prompted for the bottle number to fire each time Ctrl-F3 is pressed.  Enter
     the desired bottle number and press Enter.  If sequential firing is chosen the bottles will be fired
     in order beginning with bottle number one.  If table driven firing is chosen the bottles will be
     fired in the order specified by the table entries.  When the SEASAVE receives a valid position
     code it sets a bit in the modulo word high for 1.5 seconds and increments the number of bottles
     fired.  Support of the SBE Carousel requires SBE 9plus modem firmware 2.0 and SBE 11plus
     modem firmware version 2.0a (or greater).  

  GO 1015:

     When the SBE 9 underwater unit detects a bottle confirmation from the GO 1015 it sets a bit in
     the modulo word high for 1.5 seconds and increments the number of bottles fired.  This
     confirmation bit is used by SEASAVE to keep track of the number of bottles fired.

  GO 1016:

     If user defined firing sequence is selected you will be prompted for the bottle number to fire each
     time Ctrl-F3 is pressed.  Enter the desired bottle number and press Enter.  When the SEASAVE
     receives a valid position code it sets a bit in the modulo word high for 1.5 seconds and
     increments the number of bottles fired.  Support of the GO 1016 requires SBE 9plus and SBE
     11plus modem firmware version 2.0 or greater.

  All Water Samplers:

     Whenever a bottle confirmation is received by SEASAVE a line is written to the output file with
     a .BL extension containing the bottle firing sequence number, bottle position, date, time,
     beginning scan number, and ending scan number for the fired bottle.  Scans with the bottle
     confirmation bit set are written to a file with a .ROS extension when the raw data file is
     converted by DATCNV. 

     A list containing the bottles fired will be displayed to the right of the overlaid X-Y plot.
     A horizontal line will be drawn at the pressure the bottle was fired.  The line type, color, and
     label are selected in the Mark Variable List in the Miscellaneous Run Parameters form.

Store Lat/Lon in Raw Data File:

  This prompt will appear only if the NMEA interface option is selected in SEACON.  The choices are:

  Add to Header Only
     Lat/Lon/Time is automatically written to the header when data acquisition is started.

  Append to Every Scan
     Lat/Lon/Time is automatically written to the header and seven bytes of Lat/Lon data will be
     appended to every scan.

  Append to .NAV File when <Ctrl-N> is Pressed
     Lat/Lon/Time is automatically written to the header.  Lat/Lon/Time, scan number and pressure
     are written to FILENAME.NAV.  If DATCNV finds FILENAME.NAV it adds the contents of
     FILENAME.NAV to the converted data file header.

  Append to Every Scan and Append to .NAV File when <Ctrl-N> is Pressed
     Lat/Lon/Time is automatically written to the header and seven bytes of Lat/Lon data will be
     appended to every scan.  When <Ctrl-N> is pressed Lat/Lon/Time, scan number and pressure
     are written to FILENAME.NAV.  If DATCNV finds FILENAME.NAV it adds the contents of
     FILENAME.NAV to the converted data file header.

COMM port Configuration:

  If the SBE 11 deck unit has been configured (in SEACON) for RS232C the COMM port and its baud
  rate will be selected.  For SBE 911plus systems the COMM port for water sampler control will also
  be selected.

8.19.5  SEASAVE: ACQUIRE and STORE REAL TIME DATA

Once all of the forms have been completed press function Key 10 to begin data acquisition.  If prompt
for header information has been selected the header form will be displayed for the operator to fill out. 
The real-time overlaid X-Y plot display will be similar to the following:



<Ctrl-F3> Fire Bottle and a list of bottles fired will be displayed if the instrument type is SBE 911plus
and Water Sampler Type has been set in the miscellaneous run parameters form.  The fire push button
on the SBE 11plus deck unit can be used in conjunction with the <Ctrl-F3> key.  Pushing the fire
button will cause the next sequential bottle to be fired.

<Ctrl-F5> Mark and the data file name will only be displayed if data is being stored to disk.  See
Section 8.18.4 for a discussion of the marker file

If a NMEA interface is installed, Latitude, Longitude, and Universal Time will be displayed and updated
whenever the status line is updated.

8.21  SPLIT

Description:

Splits the data in CNV files into upcast (pressure decreasing) and downcast (pressure increasing)
files.  The upcast output filename is the input filename prefixed by 'u'.  The downcast output filename
is the input filename prefixed by 'd'.  The command line options -nd, -od, and -ou can be used to
override the output filename prefixes.  Note that the -d command line option used with BINAVG will
produce a downcast only output file, possibly removing the need to run SPLIT.

Pressure values marked bad will not be used to determine the maximum pressure.

Pressure values in scans marked bad will not be used to determine the maximum pressure if "Exclude
Scans Marked Bad" is set to YES.

8.24  WFILTER

Wfilter provides 4 types of window filters and a median filter for data smoothing of .CNV files.  Window
filters calculate a weighted average of data values about a center point and substitute this average for the
data value at the center point.  The median filter calculates a median for data values about a center point
and replaces the data value at the center point with the median.

Filter windows are defined by their length and shape.  The minimum window size is 1 scan, the
maximum is 511 scans.  Window length must be an odd number so that the window has a center point. 
Window lengths that are specified as an even number are implemented by adding 1 to make the length
odd.  As mentioned above, a filtered data point is a weighted average of those data points within the
window calculated by the transfer function below:



The following window shapes are available: boxcar, cosine, triangle, and gaussian.  The figure below
shows the impulse response of each of the 4 filter types for a filter of length 17 scans.  The impulse
response of a filter is obtained by filtering a data set that has zeros everywhere except one data value that
is set to 1.  

   























Filter weights are calculated for each window type with the following equations.  After the weights are
calculated they are normalized to sum to 1.  When a bad data point is encountered the weights are 
renormalized, excluding the filter element that would operate on the bad data point.  In the weight
equations below, the following conventions apply:

L is the window length in scans, always an odd number.
n is the window index, running from -L/2 to L/2 with 0 being the center point of the window.
w(n) is the set of window weights.

Boxcar:

Cosine:


Triangle:



Gaussian:







GAUSSIAN FILTER

The gaussian window has parameters of halfwidth (in scans) and offset (in time) in addition to window
length.  These extra parameters allow data to be filtered and shifted in time relative in one operation. 
Halfwidth, like window length has units of scans.  It determines the width of the gaussian curve.  A
window length of 9 and a halfwidth of 4 would produce a set of filter weights that fill the window.  A
window length of 17 and a halfwidth of 4 would produce a set of filter weights that fill only half the
window.  If the filter weights do not fill the window the offset parameter may be used to shift the weights
within the window without clipping the edge of the gaussian curve.      

The following figure illustrates the interaction of the three parameters.  Window length is 33 and
halfwidth is 4.  Offset is -3 seconds in the left curve, 0 in the middle curve and +3 seconds in the right
curve.

The halfwidth parameter determines the width of the gaussian curve, the offset parameter moves the
center of the gaussian filter weights relative to the center point of the window. 



























Note that the window length is larger than the halfwidth, this allows the complete gaussian curve to be
expressed in the window when the offset parameter shifts the curve forward or backward in time.  Were
the halfwidth specified to be a larger value the trailing edge of the -3 second offset curve would be
truncated,  the leading edge of the +3 curve would be truncated.  The offset parameter moves the
gaussian shape of the window weights forward or backward in time.  Since the weighted average is
calculated for a data value in the center of the window, this has the effect of shifting the data that the
filter is operating on forward or backward in time relative to the other data in the file.  This capability
allows filtering and time shifting to be done in one step.



MEDIAN FILTER

The median filter is not a smoothing filter in the same sense as the window filters described above.  For
an arbitrary window size a median value is determined, the data value at the center point of the window
is replaced by the median value.  Median filtering is most useful in spike removal.  The figure below
shows a data set before and after median filtering.




























WFILTER SETUP

The WFILTER setup menu is shown below.  The interval between scans is read off the header of the
.CNV file selected as the input file.  Select <Press Enter to Modify> to assign filter types and filter

8.25  WILDEDIT

Description:

Marks wild points by setting their values to the bad value specified in the input .CNV header.  The first
pass of WILDEDIT is used to obtain an accurate estimate of the true standard deviation of the data.  The
second pass is used to mark the values good or bad.


The algorithm is:

  Read in a block of N scans

  For each column of data the standard deviation of N data points is computed.  Values that differ from
  the mean by more than the number of standard deviations specified for pass 1 are flagged.

  The standard deviation of the same N data points (excluding the flagged values) is computed.  Values
  that differ from the mean by more than the number of standard deviations specified for pass 2 are
  marked bad.

  Before the value is marked bad the difference between the value and the mean is checked.  If this
  distance is less than the value specified in the form the value is not marked bad.  This is useful
  when the data is from a voltage sensor that is changing very slowly.  Because the voltage channels
  have limited resolution the block will have a very small standard deviation and data that changes
  by one bit may be incorrectly lagged as wild.

  Repeat until the end of file is reached.

  If the last block of data has less than N scans, data from the previous scan is used to fill in the block.

If the data file is particularly corrupted it may be necessary to run WILDEDIT more than once with
different block sizes and number of standard deviations.  For example: a 24 scan per second data file
obtained from a seven year old reel-to-reel tape contained a large number of dropouts and data errors. 
Running WILDEDIT three times marked all the "wild" points:

  runpass 1 std devpass 2 std devpoints per block

  1     2          10          12

Press F2 and select Communication Set Up to set the COMM port and baud rate.  Exit the Set Up form
(press Esc) and press F6 to establish communications with the instrument.  To abort the attempt to
establish communications press the Esc Key.

Once communications have been established characters transmitted by the instrument will be displayed
in the center portion of the main screen.


The active function keys are:

  F1         Display help screens.

  F2         Display the terminal set up form.

  F3         Display instrument status.

  F4         Display instrument headers. (For TERM37, it displays instrument coefficients).

  F5         Capture instrument responses to a file on disk (use F9 for data upload).

  F6         Reestablish communications with the instrument.  The instrument will 'go to sleep'
             after two minutes without receiving any commands from the computer.

  F7         Change the baud rate.

  F8         Initialize logging.  Reset the scan and cast pointers in the instrument to 0.  Upload
             any data in the instrument before sending this command.

  F9         Upload data from the instrument.  The upload parameters are configured in the set
             up menu (Function Key 2).

  F10        Exit to DOS.

Ctrl-C       Sends Ctrl-C to the instrument to halt the display voltages and display frequencies
             diagnostics.

Ctrl-F10 or HomeStop Logging (sends a Null character to the instrument).  This function is omitted in
             TERM1621.

On the bottom status line:

Baud =  Displays the current baud rate

Capt =  Displays the capture to disk status.  If YES all replies from the instrument are being written
        to a file on disk.

The function keys are used to control different features of the terminal programs and to send commands
to the instruments for data uploading, initialization, and status information.  If communications or
instrument problems are encountered the instrument hardware manual should be consulted for the
diagnostic and data commands appropriate for that instrument.  

In particular if the terminal program is not able to establish communications with the instrument by
cycling through the baud rates and comm ports, the baud rate as documented on the configuration page
in the hardware manual should be set with the F7 function key and the set up parameters accessed
through the F2 function key should be verified.  Subsequent attempts at communicating with the
instrument can be made by pressing the enter key or via the F6 function key.

The Upload choices are:

  Upload All Data Separated by Casts:
     All data will be uploaded.  A separate file will be written for each cast. (Not available in
     TERM1621)

  Upload Data By Cast Number Range:
     The user will be prompted for the beginning and ending cast numbers.  A separate file will be
     written for each cast. (Not available in TERM1621)

  Upload One Cast:
     The user will be prompted for the cast number range.  One  file will be written. (Not available
     in TERM1621)

  Upload All Data as One File:
     The terminal program will send the 'DD' (dump data) command rather than the 'DC' dump cast
     command to the instrument.  Standard upload for SBE 16 and SBE 21.  For diagnostic use only
     with SBE 17, SBE 19, and SBE 25.  One file will be written.

  Upload Data By Scan Number Range:
     The terminal program will prompt the user for the beginning and ending scan number and then
     send the 'DD' (dump data) command to the instrument.  For diagnostic use only.  One file will
     be written.

The Echo Choices are:

  Echo Data During Upload:
     The HEX data from the instrument is displayed on the screen as it is received

  Display One '.' Every 16th scan during Upload:
     Will shorten the time required to upload the data.

Output HEX Data File Path =
  Enter the path where you wish the uploaded HEX file to be written.


Upload File Name Choice:

  If one cast is uploaded at a time the upload file name can be up to 8 characters long.  TERM19 will
  add a .HEX extension to the name.

  If multiple casts are uploaded ('Upload All Data Separated by Casts' is selected in the set up form)
  then the filename can be up to 6 characters long.  Term 19 will add 2 characters signifying the cast
  number to the name and add a .HEX extension to the name.

  If the upload file name choice is 'Use Default File Name' then the uploaded file name is:

     NNNNXXYY.HEX where

     NNNN is the default upload file name (one to four characters)
     XX is the upload session number
     YY is the cast number

Header:
  Include Default Header in Upload File:
     The default header form is included in the upload file.  The user is not prompted to add any
     information.
  Prompt For Header Information:
     Each time a cast is uploaded the user will be prompted to fill out the header form
  Don't Include Header in Upload File:
     Header information is not included in the upload file
Upload File Name Choice =

  Use Default File Name:
     The user is not prompted for the file name.  The upload session number and cast number are
     added to the default file name to form the actual file name.

  Prompt for File Name:
     The user is prompted for the file name.


Default Upload File Name [.HEX] =
  If the upload file name choice is 'Use Default File Name' then this default file name is used along with
  the upload session number and the cast number to form the complete upload file.  The maximum
  length for the default file name is 4 characters.  The file name extension need not be entered.


Upload Session Number [0 - 99] =
  The upload session number is incremented each time data is uploaded (Function Key 9).  It is reset
  by setting this field to 0.


Header Form:
  The header form is customized by editing this form.  The entries are free form and 0 to 12 lines may
  be entered.  If header = 'Prompt for Header Information' this form will be displayed for the user to
  fill in.  If header = 'Include Default Header', only this form will be included in the upload file.

SBE 37:

  Upload choice is always Upload Data By Scan Number Range.

  Upload File Name Choice is always Prompt for File Name.


9.1.4  TERMINAL PROGRAM: FIELD OPERATION

The following description for TERM19 applies to the other terminal programs:

Connect the instrument to the computer's serial port.  Run TERM19 (the file TERM19.CFG created
during setup should be in the current directory).  Press F6 to establish communications with the SBE 19
(...communications established... will be displayed when this occurs and the S> will show on the screen
indicating that the SBE 19 is ready to accept commands).  If communications are not established press
F2 and select Communication Set Up.  Verify that the serial port, baud rate, data bits, and parity are
correct for your configuration.

To upload data, press Function Key F9.  The prompts that you see will be determined by the current
setup read from TERM19.CFG.  TERM19 will automatically obtain status and header information from
the SBE 19 and then proceed to transfer the data to the upload file(s).  When the upload is complete, the
screen will display the message 'Data Upload is Complete, Press <ESC> to continue'.  Press <ESC>
to continue.  If you wish to reset the memory pointers to initialize logging press Function Key 8.  In
addition to resetting the pointers TERM19 will put the SBE 19 in quiescent mode and then return to
DOS.


9.2  TERM11

If your SBE 11 deck unit has firmware version 2.0 or greater (the front panel LED display counts up
from 0 on power up), connect the SBE 11 RS232 serial data port to COMM port 1 on your computer. 
Run TERM11 and press the reset button on the SBE 11.  A summary of the deck unit configuration will

9.3  TMODEM

If you have a SBE 911plus CTD system this program will allow you to test firing water bottles without
having to run SEASAVE.  Connect the SBE11 RS232 modem serial port to COM port 1 on your
computer.  Connect the GO 1015 to the top of the SBE 9 underwater unit and connect the SBE 9 to the
SBE 11 deck unit.  Power on the SBE 11 deck unit and run TMODEM.  Press Function Ctrl-F9 to enable
the rosette.  After 15 seconds you should see the message "#ENABLED" displayed.  Press Ctrl-F3 to
trip a bottle.  The bottle should trip immediately and the message "#CONFIRM" will be displayed.  If
Function Key Ctrl-F3 is pressed when the rosette is not enabled the control circuit in the SBE 9
underwater unit will enable the rosette and trip the bottle 15 seconds later.


10.0  PROCESSING DATA ACQUIRED WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF SEASOFT

SEASOFT Version 4.0 can read .DAT files created with previous versions of SEASOFT.  Run the
program CFGTOCON to convert SEASOFT V 3.2 - V 3.5 configuration files to the SEASOFT V 4.0
format.  Run SEACON V 4.0 to verify the instrument configuration and calibration coefficients.

DATCNV, DERIVE, SEASAVE:
   - Add a new variable Average Sound Velocity.


4.20427 June 1994

1. BUG FIXES:

DATCNV:
  - SBE19: the first two converted scans contain incorrect temperature and conductivity values if the first
  two scans in the input data file are reference scans.

ROSSUM:
   - Incorrect time strings in the output .btl files.  This was caused by a
     local value declared as an integer rather than a long.  Also ROSSUM 
     did not skip over "RESET ...." lines in the .btl file.
   
SEASAVE (realtime):
   - SBE 31: occasionally hung when starting to acquire data.  SEASAVE was sending
     XOFF at the wrong time.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

ALIGNCTD:
   - Regroup the form fields in the setup form.

DATCNV:
   - Display error messages for SBE19 when DATCNV cannot find reference scan pairs

   - Add "table driven" to the bottle firing choices.


4.2051 August 1994

1. BUG FIXES:

SEASOFT Modules:
  - dz/dt and acceleration were computed incorrectly when English units were chosen.

SEASAVE:
  - SBE 31s with old microprocessor boards were being programmed to transmit four bytes per word.

TERMINAL programs:
  - fix directory path bug.  Bug is in V4204 only.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

SEASOFT Modules:
  - modify display of units (all modules display values with consistent SI units).

  - The Min-Pressure and Pressure-Window-Size etc. were not set correctly when the AFM if the AFM
  is set to Stationary Mode. 

TERM25:
  - Hung when uploading all data as one file or by scan number range when the upload baud rate
  differed from the communication baud rate.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

SEASAVE:
  - Change one of the choices for the Printer Control Selection from "Others (GRAFPLUS Control)"
  to "Others (DOS GRAPHICS or other memory resident printer drivers)".

  - Change overlay structure to reduce the memory requirements by about 40k.

3. NEW FEATURES:

SEACON, SEASAVE:
  - Add an new type of sensor - Bottom Contact Switch for instrument types SBE19 and SBE25.


4.2072 November 1994

1. BUG FIXES:

BUOYANCY:
  - A floating point error occured sometimes when <Esc> was pressed before starting the main
  process.

DATCNV:
  - If a .BL file is selected to get scan range information for bottle firing, and the .BL file contains
  "RESET" lines, the Number of Bottle Fired in both output .CNV and .ROS files is incorrect.

SEAPLOT:
  - SEAPLOT may get confused when plotting several one-page plots in a batch mode and "Print When
  Reach Bottom of Plot or End of Data Set" is selected.
  - When plotting more than 7 plots in a batch job on some plotters, a data overflow on the plotter might
  occur.  Use the new option -p<pauseTime> (see details in the following NEW FEATURES section).

SEASAVE:
  - The input file name was not displayed correctly on the screen when processing in batch mode with
  the file name specified on the command line.

TERMAFM:
  - The pressure offset was computed as psia rather than decibars.

TRANS:
  - Input file type was not updated when a different path was selected.

WFILTER:
  - Scan interval was not updated when a different path was selected.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

All TERMINAL Programs:
  - Terminal programs no longer automatically wake the instrument when the program is run.  Press
  <F6> to wake the instrument up and establish communications.  This permits the user to go to the
  Set Up form before communication with the instrument.  This change was made when support for
  COM3 and COM4 was added since some computers hang when the selected COMM port I/O address
  is used by another device (such as a network adapter card).
  - When <F6> is pressed, the program uses COMM port selected in the set up form to establish the
  serial connections, it does not try other COMM ports.

All SEASOFT Programs:
  - Programs will allow the user to go to the setup-form even if the selected input file or .con file do
  not exist or are invalid.

SEASAVE:
  - Add the data file name (input file name for ARCHIVED display and output file name for
  REALTIME display) and time to the ASCII optput.
  - Erase DOS error message on XY display after <Esc> is pressed.

3. NEW FEATURES:

All SEASOFT, TERM Programs:
  - Add COM3 and COM4 to the serial port choices.
  - Exit module with error level set to 1 if batch processing is interrupted.

SEAPLOT:
  - Map screen display's colors to plot's colors on HP color printer as close  as possible.  The color
  mapping will work on all types of HP printers as long as the printer supports HP-GL/2.

SEAPLOT:
  - Add an new command line option -p<pauseTime>. This indicates to pause pauseTime seconds after
  sending data to a plotter in a batch mode. If you use -p without specifying the pauseTime, the default
  60 seconds pause will be used. This option is useful especially when you have to plot a lot of plots
  in a batch job.


4.20820 January 1995

1. BUG FIXES:

DATCNV, SEASAVE:
   - For SBE17 or SBE17plus if the input file's path in the .hex file's header
     constains the word "SEARAM", the output pressure and pressure-temperature
     values are computed incorrectly. This bug originated in version 4.020.

SEASAVE:
   - In X-Y plots a large positive number was sometimes displayed as 
     a large negative number.

TERMAFM:
   - When pressing <F8> to switch from SBE19/25 to AFM or vice versa, the instrument
     wouldn't wake up correctly.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

All SEASOFT Programs:
    - Improve the error handling for when there are no input files in
      the specified directory.

SEACON:
    - SBE 25: Add a field to specify real time data output rate.

SEAPLOT:
    - Eliminate subforms for variables' min and max values. A variable's min and 
      max values will be shown above the variable's min or max value field when 
      the min or max value field is being edited. This change enables SEAPLOT's 
      forms to have the similar look and feel as SEASAVE's.

SEASAVE:
    - Remove the command line option -s since it is no longer useful.

SEASAVE (realtime):
    - Enable the user to go back to the main menu after editing the user-header form.
    - Modify the Auto-Bottle-Fire logic.
    
3. NEW FEATURES:

ALIGNCTD:
    - Add an new command line option -v<colNumber>,<advSeconds> for more advanced users.
      The option lets the user specify the column number and the number of seconds to 
      advance.  For example, -v0,-3.5 means to advance the variable values at column #0
      by -3.5 seconds.  Note that no spaces are allowed between these parameters. These
      values override the ones originally specified in alignctd.cfg. This option can be
      used more than once.

DATCNV:
    - For each frequency, voltage, pressure channel add a line of descriptions to 
      the output .cnv file's header.  The line contains channel name, sensor type, 
      sensor serial number and calibration date.

DATCNV, SEACON, SEASAVE:
    - Add choices to temperature computation: using a, b, c, d, f0 or using g, h,
      i, j, f0 coefficients. For temperature sensors calibrated before 1/1/95 use 
      a, b, c, d, f0 coefficients, and for temperature sensors calibrated during
      and after 1/1/95 use g, h, i, j, f0 coefficients.

    - Add choices to conductivity computation: using a, b, c, d, m or using g, h,
      i, j, tc, pc coefficients. For temperature sensors calibrated before 1/1/95 use 
      a, b, c, d, m coefficients, and for temperature sensors calibrated during
      and after 1/1/95 use g, h, i, j, tc, pc coefficients.

Most SEASOFT Programs:
    - Add an new feature: press <Ctrl_F10> to view the input data file's header.
      The input data files, which contain headers, are files with extensions such 
      as .dat, .hex, .ros and .cnv.

All SEASOFT Programs:
    - Add support for WET Labs AC-3, A-3, and WET star.  Add three new voltage 
      channels - chlorophyll absorption, beam transmission, and WET star chlorophyll
      absorption, and add two new variables - WET Labs chlorophyll concentration and beam
      attenuation. Normally the values of chlorophyll absorption, chlorophyll
      concentration are plotted with logarithm axis, but if -l option is used
      (in SEASAVE or SEAPLOT), these values are plotted with linear axis.


4.2092 February 1995

1. BUG FIXES:

FILTER:
  - fix -t<tempfile> command line option.  Temp file was always named TEMP.CNV.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

SEACON:
    - Add field for conductivity pressure coefficient.

TERMINAL PROGRAMS:
  - Add 19200 and 38400 baud rate choices to set up menu.


4.21023 February 1995

1. BUG FIXES:

TERMAFM:
  - Did read pressure coefficients correctly from .CON files generated with SEASOFT V 4.208 or
  4.209.  The use g,h,i,j, coefficients flag caused the line length to exceed the length specified
  in TERMAFM).  This bug is in V 4.208 and 4.209 only.  Pressure values were not correctly
  converted to pressure numbers when the pressure coefficient A2 was 0.0.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

SEACON:
  - SBE 16 and SBE 19: Do not prompt for AD590M and AD590B when digiquartz with temperature
  compensation is selected as the pressure sensor type.


4.21114 April 1995

1. BUG FIXES:

ALIGNCTD:
   - An advance time of zero specified on the command line does not override the 
     value in the Set-Up Form.

TERMAFM:
   - When uploading data to .afm files, "Receiving Error..." is reported
     when no error is detected.

WFILTER:
   - When running Median filter on some .cnv files which were processed by WildEdit 
     and/or AlignCTD and/or LoopEdit, the program sometimes hung.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

All TERM Programs:
   - Enable them to upload cast numbers from 0 to 999 instead of 0 to 99.
     (only 100 casts can be uploaded at one time).

DATCNV, SEASAVE:
   - Add command line option -r<degrees> to specify the suns angle in degrees from vertical
     for surface par or corrected par's computation.
     PAR = PAR * cosine(degrees)

4.21217 May 1995

1. BUG FIXES:

SEACON:
     When the pressure type is changed from NONE or Strain Gauge to Digiquartz w/ or w/o TC
     or vice versa for SBE16, the number of frequencies in the DataFormat subform was not 
     updated accordingly.

2. NEW FEATURES:

SEASAVE, DATCNV, DERIVE, ASCIIIN:
   - Add an new variable - Potential Temperature Anomaly.

SEASAVE, SEAPLOT:
   - Add a new command line option -bc<colorIndex> to let the user select the background
     color for MultiXY plot.  The color index range is [0, 14] and the color map is the same
     SEAPLOT batch mode color selection.  The default background color is black.  If a
     variable has the same color as the background color, the variable's color is changed
     to black.  This option was added to support screen dumps to color printers via Windows.

SEASAVE (realtime):
   - Add an new choice to the Store Lat/Lon in Raw Data File menu: "Append to Every Scan and
     Append to .NAV File when <Ctrl_N> is Pressed".


4.21313 June 1995


1. BUG FIXES:

SEASAVE:
   - When displaying archived data, if the screen is dumped after reaching the
     end of the data set status line values other than pressure, temperature,
     and salinity are incorrect.

   - When acquiring data from a SBE 9/11 with a RS-232 interface if the
     computer was not keeping up with the incoming data SEASAVE was not sending
     XOFF commands correctly to the deck unit causing some characters
     to be dropped.  This occurs only if SEASAVE is configured for use with
     a water sampler.  One side effect is that non-existing bottle confirmations
     were displayed.

   - If bottles were fired rapidly (less than 3 seconds between bottles) some
     bottle confirmations were not detected by SEASAVE.  When firing sequentially,
     if one confirmation was missed subsequent confirmations were not detected.
2. MODIFICATIONS:

SEACON, SEASAVE:
   - Move the "Min Pressure to Enable Altimeter Alarm [db] = " field from
     SEASAVE's ASCII Output Set Up form to SEACON's Altimeter Constants Set Up form.

SEASAVE:
-------
   - Keep Set-Altimeter-Alarm-On commands to the deck unit at least two
     seconds apart.

   - Set Column #0 in the Marked Variable List in the Misc Run Parameters
     form to Scan Number, and make this field fixed (users cannot modify it).
     This insures that scan numbers are always included in .mark files.


4.2142 August 1995

1. BUG FIXES:

ALIGNCTD:
   - If the total number of scans in the input was less than the window size,
     extra scans with incorrect values were added to the file.

SEASAVE:
   - When the units were changed from Metric to English or vice versa, some of
     variables descriptions for X-Y overlay display were garbled.
   - If Lat/Lon data is added by the NMEA interface, and the display mode is
     not set to X-Y overlay display, the Lat/Lon data stored in .NAV file was
     not updated when <Ctrl-N> was pressed.

SEASOFT:
   - When using the -a command line option to process all files, if one of the
     modules aborts with a partially processed TEMP.CNV file, the partially
     processed TEMP.CNV file caused errors for subsequent processing.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

SEASOFT:
   - Modify the batch processing so that if one of the modules encounters an error
     it will display the error message and wait for the user to press a key to continue.
     Processing resumes with the next file in the file list.  Prior to this version
     processing would resume with the next module in the batch file (the remaining files
     in the list were not processed).

3. NEW FEATURES:

DERIVE, SEASAVE:
   - Add DTDT (delta temperature delta time) to DERIVE and add an optional DTDT's
     window size in seconds to the existing command line option -v1,<windowSize>.
     If the window size is not specified, the default window size of 300 seconds
     will be used.

SEACON:
   - Add support for surface PAR data to be appended by the SBE 33 or SBE 36 deck
     unit with NEMA interface (for SBE 19 and SBE 25).


4.2155 October 1995

1. BUG FIXES:

BINAVG:
  - If the command line option -c is used to set the first bin's center value and
    surface bin is set to yes and the first bin minimum is greater than the surface
    bin maximum then the surface bin maximum was incorrectly reset to the binsize / 2.

DATCNV:
   - For SBE25, if the user chose to obtain Bottle Firing data from .AFM file and
     if the SBE25 internal recording rate and AFM real time rate were not the same,
     DATCNV didi not extract correct scans from the .HEX file into the .ROS file.
   - If the AFM real time data rate is 4 or 8 scans per second, DATCNV incorrectly
     displayed a "Scans Don't Match" error, and the scan ranges stored in the .BL file
     were incorrect.

TERM1621, TERM17, TERM19, TERM25:
   - The command line option -f<upldFileName> used to run the batch process for 
     uploading data did not work.

2. NEW FEATURES:

SEAPLOT:
   - Add a choice of Scalable Dots to Plot Line Type's choices.

SEASAVE:
   - Add Altimeter Height + Depth and Altimeter Height + Pressure to Remote Display
     Data Type's choices. If either of these choices is chosen, display Altimeter
     Height and Depth or Pressure alternately.

4.21630 October 1995

1. BUG FIXES:

All SEASOFT Programs:
    - When the input and output filenames are the same and the output
      file is on a different drive than where the SEASOFT module is executing then
      the output file is not created and the TEMP.CNV file is not removed.

2. MODIFICATIONS:

DATCNV:
    - Modify the program so that the selected variable list is retained
      when the input path is changed or a different .con file is selected.

3. NEW FEATURES:

SEACON, SEASAVE:
   - Add "Lat/Lon Data Added by NMEA Interface" option to sbe911's
     setup form.

TERM1621:
   - Add an option in the communication set up form to select either full duplex RS232
     or half duplex RS485.


4.21726 February 1996

1. BUG FIXES:

DATCNV:
   - A divide by zero runtime math error occures with instrument type SBE19
     when get water bottle data from .afm file is selected.

SEASAVE (realtime):
   - The SBE 11 Deck Unit was programmed to transmit 4 bytes per output word.
     Since SEASAVE expects 3 bytes per word the displayed data is garbage.
     This bug applies only to SBE 11 deck units with firmware versions less than 2.0
     with SEASOFT V 4.202 through 4.216.
     This bug does not affect any SBE 11plus deck units.

2. NEW FEATURES:

All SEASOFT Programs:
   - Add a new voltage output sensor: FGP pressure. Up to eight FGP sensors
     can be used on the CTD at once.
   - Add a new voltage output sensor: Seapoint Turbidity Meter.

SEASAVE (realtime):
   - Add a command line option -u3 to enable control of storing realtime data 
     to disk. When -u3 is specified, if bit3 of the middle byte of the modulo
     word is 0 store data, otherwise don't.
   - Add a new variable "Storing Data" to indicate if the current scan is stored
     on to the disk or not.


4.21826 April 1996

1. BUG FIXES:

DATCNV, SEASAVE:
   - Conductivity and salinity values from wide-range conductivity sensors using 
     ghij coefficients were incorrect.

DATCNV, SEASAVE, Terminal Programs:
   - When the user enters words such as "cast" and "hdr" into the user-entered header
     information, the program would get incorrect information from the header part 
     of the data file. For instance, the start time for the data set would be wrong.

SEAPLOT:
   -  Overlay plots on printer are not using the correct line types (connected
      line or dots).
   -  The whole set of data for the overlay display was plotted even when the screen
      display contains partial data set.

    scan length error and quit processing the file.

DATCNV, SEASAVE:
  - Don't match sensor serial numbers for archived data display for sbe31.

SEASAVE:
  - If the GPS NMEA message (such as GGA or GLL message) contains only the time 
     (hhmmss) but not he month-date information, the time information will still
     be saved in the output file's header as the NMEA UTC time.
   - Retain the user entered header information in the setup form.

2. NEW FEATURES:

SEASAVE:
  - Add a command line option -ss to enable the user to delay saving data to the
     output file.  Initially, the realtime data will be displayed on the screen but
     not saved.  When the <Ctrl-D> key is pressed data is saved to the output
     file.  If X-Y display is selected, the display will be cleared when <Ctrl-D>
     is pressed.
   - Save the entire command line to output file's header.


4.220   3 October 1996

    Gain Range Switch to the Dr. Haardt sensor's setup form.  Users can select
  the gain based on the Output Voltage Level, the Modulo Bit, or NONE.


4.221   8 October 1996

1. Bug Fixes:

SEACON, SEASAVE, SEACON:
  - When reading old .CON files SEASOFT assumed that the temperature and conductivity
    coefficients were G,H,I,J instead of A,B,C,D.  The G,H,I,J coefficients are undefined
    in old versions of .CON files.  This bug is only in V 4.220.


4.222   21 November 1996

1. Bug Fixes:

BUOYANCY:
   - When processing several files in the same session, the output .CNV
