Info

SonTek 2 • Click Realtime to start the real-time data collection software. • Select a short averaging interval (10 seconds) • Press OK to configure the Argonaut. • Press the green play icon (!) to start data collection. • Press the red record icon (") to start recording to a file. • Collect a few minutes worth of data, generating real currents if possible. 4) Quick Start: Post Processing with Windows Software • Start ViewArgonaut using Start | Programs | SonTek Software | ViewArgonaut. • Click PostProcessing to start the post processing software. • Select File | Open. • Select the file you recorded with the real-time software and click OK. • Click OK when file statistics are shown to finish loading the data. • Use the Zoom tool. • Double click the axis to change the plot scale. • Use the slide bar on the top to view tabular data for individual samples. • Export data in ASCII format using File | Export. 5) Quick Start: System Diagnostics with Windows Software • Mount the Argonaut in a small tank of water with a little seeding material, ideally with the instrument close to a boundary (20-30 cm / 8-12 in). • Start ViewArgonaut using Start | Programs | SonTek Software | ViewArgonaut. • Click ArgCheck to start the system diagnostic software. • Refer to the Argonaut Software Manual for interpreting the software output. 6) Direct Command Interface with Windows Software • The direct command interface allows you to “talk” directly to the Argonaut. • Start SonUtils using Start | Programs | SonTek Software | SonUtils. • Select SonTermW to start the terminal emulator software. • Click the BREAK icon (or press Alt+B) to wake-up the instrument. You should see a wakeup response from the instrument. • Use the Show icons to view all parameter settings. • Type help and press for assistance with the direct command interface. • Refer to the Argonaut Operation Manual for more details. Special Notice when Turning Computers On or Off When many computers and data loggers are turned on or off, they send a signal out the serial port that can be interpreted as a BREAK. If the Argonaut is connected to the serial port, this can interrupt data collection or awaken the Argonaut from its sleep mode. This may cause the loss of data or the draining of batteries. Always disconnect the Argonaut from the computer or data logger before turning the computer/data logger on or off. Getting Started with the Argonaut MD, SL, or XR (May 1, 2001)
