SonTek/YSI Signal Strength Plot 24 • The signal strength plot shows the three components of signal strength (one for each receiver) versus time. • The signal strength vertical-axis is fixed. • The signal strength time-axis (horizontal) is set to match the velocity plot axis. • Signal strength data is the best source of diagnostic data for system operation and should be monitored closely. • See the Argonaut Principles of Operation for details about using and interpreting signal strength data. Tabular Display • The far right portion of the screen shows a tabular display of the most recent Argonaut sample. • Displayed data includes velocity, signal strength, standard error, temperature, and battery voltage. • See the Argonaut Principles of Operation for details about different types of data. Argonaut Software Manual (March 1, 2001)
3.5.3. Data Recording The real-time software records Argonaut data in a standard binary file format. SonTek/YSI • The same format is used whether data are recorded using the real-time data collection software or the internal recorder. • Within the standard data file format, there are two options for the format of individual samples: LONG or SHORT. The SHORT format is for autonomous deployments to reduce storage requirements for long deployments. Real-time data collection always uses the LONG data format. • When data collection is started, the hardware configuration and user operating parameters are stored in a file header structure. • With each sample (using the LONG format), the system stores a record containing time, velocity, signal strength, standard deviation, heading, pitch, roll, temperature, pressure, and several other parameters. • All the data contained in these files can be accessed by the data conversion programs discussed in Section Section 6. • The binary file format is described in detail in the Argonaut Operation Manual. When using the real-time software to collect data, you also have the option of storing data internally on the Argonaut recorder. • The real-time software does not affect settings that relate to the internal recorder; these are left as they were when the software was started. • The most common reason to use the internal recorder while collecting real-time data is for a backup in case of computer malfunction or power loss. • To use the internal recorder as a backup, do the following. ○ Run our SonTerm terminal emulator program (see §4.2-Windows; Section 9-DOS). ○ Send a BREAK to establish communication. ○ Erase the internal recorder if necessary using the Format command. Be sure to first retrieve and back up any files currently stored on the recorder. ○ Send the command Recorder ON. ○ Set a deployment name using the Deployment command. ○ Send the command SaveSetup. ○ You can now run the real-time software, and the Argonaut will also record data on the internal recorder.
