Table G-4. SeaBird’s CTD values resulting when the Sensors display is active

Raw Temperature Frequency from serial port template character 'b'

Raw Pressure Frequency

from serial port template character '{pf}'

Raw Pressure Temperature

from serial port template character ';'

Raw Conductivity Frequency

from serial port template character 'Q'

Raw Turbidity

from serial port template character '|'; use “pipe” symbol

7. The values computed in step 2 are displayed in the CTD Computed Data area of

the Sensor Display window.

• Temperature (degrees C)

• Depth (meters) This will be the same depth as in the Parameter display

window unless the depth value in the Parameter display has been
overridden with a manual depth setting.

• Sound Velocity (meters per second) computed using Chen-Millero formula

• Conductivity (Siemens per meter)

• Turbidity (percent of daylight)

• In playback mode, all of the values are displayed with the following

exception: If the data are saved in Q-MIPS format, only the computed
values are saved. The raw frequency data are not available.

G.3 How Isis Treats Falmouth Scientific CTD Data

For Falmouth Scientific or similar devices, the following serial port template entries are used to
log the following data from a CTD:

{w}

Water Temperature (degrees C)

{p}

Pressure (psia)

{c}

Conductivity in Siemens per meter

{m}

Conductivity in mmho/cm

{v}

Sound Velocity

|

Turbidity (0 to +5 volts) (optional; use “pipe” symbol)
