I want to add an auxiliary sensor to my CTD (SBE 9plus, 16, 16plus, 16plus-IM, 16plus V2, 16plus-IM V2, 19, 19plus, 19plus V2, or 25). Assuming the auxiliary sensor is compatible with the instrument, what is the procedure?
Adding the sensor(s) is reasonably straightforward: • Mount the sensor (Note: If the new sensor will be part of a pumped system, the existing plumbing must be modified; consult Sea-Bird for details.). • Attach the new cable. • Using the appropriate terminal program ‑ Enable the channel(s) in the CTD, using the appropriate instrument command. • Using SEASAVE V7, SEASAVE-Win32, or SBE Data Processing ‑ Modify the CTD configuration (.con) file to reflect the new sensor, and type in the calibration coefficients.
