SonTek/YSI A3.4. Software Changes for Vertical Beam Argonaut SL Systems The following changes apply to the software programs when using a vertical beam system (see Argonaut Software Manual). 112 • Real-Time Data Acquisition (ARGONAUT.EXE) – Water level is reported in meters. • Data Extraction (GARGSAMP / EARGSAMP): o When DataFormat = LONG, water level is reported instead of the third velocity component (V3/Vz/Vup). o When DataFormat = SHORT, water level is reported instead of the pressure field. o The water level measurement unit depends on the setting of OutFormat: Metric = m, English = ft. o When no water level is detected, a value of –1 is reported.

Appendix 4. Analog Output Option for Argonaut SL/XR Systems A4.1. Introduction Argonaut Operation Manual Firmware Version 7.9 (May 1, 2001) SonTek/YSI Beginning with Argonaut firmware version 7.9 (April, 2001), the ability to output data in an analog format was added to Argonaut SL and XR systems. This appendix describes the Analog Output (AO) option and operational considerations. A4.2. Overview of the Argonaut SL/XR Analog Output Option The AO implementation in the Argonaut can store and output up to eight different AO channels, each configured individually. You can select a different output variable for each channel. Nine output variables are available – flow, velocity magnitude, level, X-velocity, Y-velocity, average amplitude, pressure, temperature, and cell end location. When you are using more than one serial-to-AO converter (described in §0 and hereafter referred to as Converter), each Converter must be configured for a unique address (1 through 8). The following commands have been added to support the AO option. AnalogOutputType or AOT [DISABLED|CURRENT|VOLTAGE] • Sets the type of output to either CURRENT (4-20 mA) or VOLTAGE. • When set to DISABLED, the analog output is not performed. SetupAnalogOutput or SAO [Chan OutParam MinVal MaxVal] | [Chan RESET] • Sets or displays the AO processing parameters. • Chan is the channel number (1 through 8) of the Argonaut. • OutParam is the desired analog variable you wish to output. The acceptable parameters are VELX (current velocity of the X component), VELY (current velocity of the Y component), VELMAG (velocity magnitude), AVGAMP (average signal amplitude), TEMP (water temperature), PRESS (pressure), LEVEL (of water above Argonaut; only available with verticalbeam systems), FLOW (not yet implemented), and CELLEND (end location of cell; only available in systems with a pressure sensor). • MinVal and MaxVal are the minimum and maximum parameter limits. The reason for specifying the limit values is to allow you to obtain more accurate readings for your particular environmental conditions. For example, the velocity magnitude range for the Argonaut current meter is from 0 to 1000 cm/s. These values correspond to the Converter’s limits of 4 and 20 mA, respectively. However, if the expected velocity magnitude is >125 and
