Setup for Deployment
1.
Install new AA lithium cells (see
Section 5: Routine Maintenance and
Calibration
) or ensure the existing battery pack has enough capacity to
cover the intended deployment..
2.
Program the MicroCAT for the intended deployment (see
Section 3:
Preparing MicroCAT for Deployment
for connection information; see
information in this section on commands and sampling modes):
A.
Ensure all data has been uploaded, and then send
InitLogging
to
make the entire memory available for recording. If
InitLogging
is not
sent, data will be stored after the last recorded sample.
B.
Set the date and time (
DateTime=
).
C.
Establish the setup and logging parameters.
D.
Use
one
of the following command sequences to initiate sampling:
StartNow
to start logging now, taking a sample every
SampleInterval=
seconds.
StartDateTime=
and
StartLater
to start logging at the specified
date and time, taking a sample every
SampleInterval=
seconds.
SyncMode=Y
to place the MicroCAT in serial line sync mode,
so that a simple pulse on the RS-232 line will initiate a sample.
