Website directory Our entire website for off-line reference. Double click on index.htm to access the website home page; the off-line home page will open in your Internet browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator). 6. CDContentsAndInstallation.txt and CDContentsAndInstallation.pdf – a file containing this text (same information in both files). 7. Instrument-specific files: A. (only for instruments that store calibration coefficients internally) Calibration (.cal) file, which defines the calibration coefficients. The .cal file is used with Prog**.exe to reload coefficients into the instrument if they were inadvertently deleted or changed. Contact Sea-Bird if you need to use this file. The file is named ****.cal, where **** is the instrument serial number. For example, for an instrument with serial number 2375, we name the file 2375.cal. You may rename the .cal file if desired. B. (only for configurable instruments -- SBE 9/9plus, 16/16plus, 19/19plus, 21, 25, 31, 45, and 49) Configuration (.con) file, which defines the instrument configuration and calibration coefficients. The .con file is needed by SEASAVE for real-time data acquisition and by SBE Data Processing for post-processing of the data. The file is named ****.con, where **** is the instrument serial number. For example, for an instrument with serial number 2375, we name the file 2375.con. You may rename the .con file if desired. NOTE: A copy of the .con file is also included on a floppy disk that ships with the instrument. C. Manual Job-specific manual(s) in Adobe Acrobat .pdf form. This includes the generic instrument manual as well as instrument configuration, calibration coefficients, schematics, pressure test certificates, application notes, etc. specific to your instrument. The manual is named manual-xx-****.pdf, where xx is the instrument type and **** is the instrument serial number. For example, for an SBE 19plus with serial number 2375, we name the file manual-19p-2375.pdf. NOTE: Sea-Bird creates 1 CD-ROM per system. For example, if you ordered an SBE 19plus CTD with an SBE 33 Deck Unit and SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler, the CD-ROM contains job-specific manuals for the 19plus, 33, and 32. The CD-ROM is typically packed with the CTD, if a CTD is part of the order. 8. (Only for SBE 16plus, 19plus, and 49) LOADSCP.exe program to reload calibration coefficients into a .con file, if the .con file was inadvertently deleted or changed. Contact Sea-Bird if you need to use this program. 9. SBE Battery Budget Calculator_V*_*.xls – Battery and memory budget calculator for moored instruments. To use, must have Microsoft Excel installed on computer. 10. sbe.ico -- graphic used by our software installation program (for Windows software). 11. SbeDataProcessing_*HighRes.pdf – SBE Data Processing manual in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format. 12. Seasave_7.*HighRes.pdf – SEASAVE V7 manual in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format. 13. Seasave_*HighRes.pdf – SEASAVE-Win32 manual in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format. 14. Seasoft-Win32*.exe -- Win 2000/XP software package, which includes software for communication, real-time data acquisition, and data analysis and display.
