regimes

Usage

>> regimes [ direction | count | reference]

Security

Open.

Description

Sets and returns information about the regimes. These are only used if the sampling mode = regimes .This is intended for use when the instrument is integrated into moving platforms.
  1. direction[ = ascending | descending]  indicates if the instrument is intended to ascend or descend in the water column. The  boundary  values specified for each individual  regime  are the  first  boundary in the regime; so if the instrument is ascending, the boundary specified is the  lower  boundary; and vice-versa.
  2. count [ = <countvalue> ]  indicates the number of regimes that are set. Reducing this value will erase  regime  settings immediately. Increasing this value will add a  regime  and assign default values to the settings. The maximum number of regimes is 3.
  3. reference[ = absolute | seapressure ]  indicates which pressure is used as reference for the determination of the current regime and bin. The sea pressure is the difference between the absolute pressure measured and the atmospheric pressure setting defined via the command settings.

Examples

>> regimes

<< regimes direction = ascending, count = 3, reference = absolute

There are three specified regimes with the individual boundary values being interpreted as the lower values as the instrument ascends through the water column.

Errors

Error E0105 command prohibited while logging
Settings may not be modified while logging is in progress; reading them is permitted.

Error E0108 invalid argument to command: '<invalid-argument>'
The command was given with an argument which is unrecognized or has an invalid value; for example "regimes direction = horizontal", or "regimes count = 125".

Error E0109 feature not available
An attempt was made to use a feature which the logger is not configured to support.
