Latitude Longitude and Time data into the CTD data stream Data Telemetry Receiver The telemetry waveform originates in the CTD and is transformer coupled onto the sea cable In the Deck Unit another transformer removes the telemetry signal from the sea cable The signal is amplified filtered and converted to logic level prior to being sent to a UART and then to a micro controller which checks the decoded bits and activates a valid character line to indicate successful reception of each 8 bit character The absence of the valid character signal at times when it is expected lights the Deck Unit Error LED Deck Unit Modem The Deck Unit modem provides a 300 baud full duplex serial communication link with the CTD This channel is used by the Deck Unit for water sampler control and control of a remote serial device The CTD uses the setting of the most significant bit to determine what to do with a command received from the Deck Unit e Characters received by the CTD with the most significant bit set ASCII values 128 255 are interpreted as commands to a water sampler The CTD interprets the command encodes it in the format required by the water sampler and sends it to the water sampler e Characters received by the CTD with the most significant bit not set are passed along unchanged to a remote serial output device All characters received by the CTD from the water sampler and remote serial output device are sent to the Dec
