Section 3: Preparing SBE 38 for Deployment

Test
1. Double click on SeaTerm.exe. If this is the first time the program is used,
the setup dialog box may appear:
Select the instrument type (SBE 38) and the computer COM port for
communication with the SBE 38. Click OK.
2. The main screen looks like this:
• Menus – Contains tasks and frequently executed instrument
commands.
• Toolbar – Contains buttons for frequently executed tasks and
instrument commands. All tasks and commands accessed through the
Toolbar are also available in the Menus. To display or hide the
Toolbar, select View Toolbar in the View menu. Grayed out Toolbar
buttons are not applicable.
• Command/Data Echo Area – Echoes a command executed using a
Menu or Toolbar button, as well as the instrument’s response.
Additionally, a command can be manually typed in this area, from the
available commands for the instrument. Note that the instrument must
be awake for it to respond to a command (use Connect on the Toolbar
to wake up the instrument).
• Status bar – Provides status information. To display or hide the Status
bar, select View Status bar in the View menu.
Note:
See SEATERM’s help files.
Note:
There is at least one way, and as
many as three ways, to enter
a command:
• Manually type a command in
Command/Data Echo Area
• Use a menu to automatically
generate a command
• Use a Toolbar button to
automatically generate
a command
Note:
Once the system is configured and
connected (Steps 3 through 5
below), to update the Status bar:
• on the Toolbar, click Status; or
• from the Utilities menu, select
Instrument Status.
SEATERM sends the status
command, which displays in the
Command/Data Echo Area, and
updates the Status bar.
