Info

SonTek/YSI Record to file: (Enter filename) This item is used to assign a file for recording Argonaut data. Several checks have been incorporated to insure that a valid filename is given, the file can be created, and that an existing file is not accidentally overwritten. Data should only be written to the hard disk, not a floppy disk drive, as the slow access time and limited storage of a floppy disk can cause programs. File comment 1/2/3: (Enter text) These items let you enter up to three 60-character lines of text for documenting the data set. START data acquisition: (Enter) Once you are satisfied with the setup, data acquisition can be started by pressing Enter on this item. The program will initialize the Argonaut and enter the data acquisition mode. EXIT data acquisition: (Enter) Pressing Enter causes the program to terminate and return to DOS. 5.4. Data Acquisition Mode After selecting Start Data Acquisition in the setup screen, the program displays the command sequence used to initialize the Argonaut, switches to the real-time display, and tells the Argonaut to begin collecting data. Figure 15 shows the real-time display screen. The top of the screen displays information on the status of data acquisition. The center and upper right portion of the screen shows a tabular display of data from the last sample. The main portion of the screen provides a graphical time series of velocity data. The bottom shows which keys are active during data acquisition and the function of each. Status information The status portion of the screen is updated with each sample; each block is described below. Recording to file This displays the path and name of the Argonaut data file. If recording is disabled, the words NOT RECORDING are displayed. File size (kb) / Disk space (kb) / Recording time left (h) These fields will display information only if recording is enabled. File Size gives the current size of the data file in Kbytes. Disk Space gives the amount of space left on the disk on which the data file resides (also in Kbytes). Recording Time Left tells you how many hours of data can be collected at the present rate before the disk becomes full. Start time This time is obtained from the computer clock (note that the Argonaut clock is set to match the PC clock at the start of data collection) and represents the start of the first averaging interval. Sample time This represents the time of the sample currently displayed on the screen (start of the averaging interval). Sample number This is the number of the last velocity sample collected and currently displayed. 48 Argonaut Software Manual (March 1, 2001)
SonTek/YSI Tabular Data The tabular data display is updated after every sample, and shows velocity and diagnostic data from the last Argonaut sample. V1 / V2 / V3 or Vx / Vy / Vz or VEast / VNorth / VUp These are the last values of the three velocity components in cm/s using the coordinate system specified in the setup mode (BEAM, XYZ, or ENU). Sigma V1 / V2 / V3 or Sigma Vx / Vy / Vz or Sigma VE / VN / VU These are the last values of standard deviations of the three velocity components in cm/s using the coordinate system specified in the setup mode (BEAM, XYZ, or ENU). AMP1 / AMP2 / AMP3 These are the last values of signal amplitude measured at each of the three transducers, in counts. Counts are an internal logarithmic unit; one count equals 0.43 dB. Heading / pitch / roll These fields present data from the optional compass/tilt sensor (all fields will be blank if the compass/tilt sensor is not installed). Temperature (°C) This field displays the most recent data from the Argonaut temperature sensor. Figure 15 – ARGONAUT Real Time Display Argonaut Software Manual (March 1, 2001) 49
