The sensors turn on and begin logging data two minutes before the scheduled start time of each profile Profiler motion starts at the scheduled start time During the profile certain sensors log data autonomously and the MMP records other engineering and status information Some sensors are self logging and other sensors transfer collected data to the Profiler via digital RS232 RS485 or analog connectors The Profiler stops moving when the end of the programmed profiling range is detected The sensors continue to log internally for two minutes The system stops the sensors and transfers sensor data to the flash card a profile is complete when the sensor and engineering files have been closed The system enters Suspend mode again and waits for the next scheduled profile The interval of sensor logging before motion start and after motion stop provides data for use during post processing to correct for sensor drift Other conditions such as an obstacle blocking the mooring cable can be detected during a profile and may trigger changes in profiling action The system continues to conduct profiles until the deployment is terminated EgMcLANE RESEARCH LABORATORIES INC Ending a Deployment 1 The system ends a deployment if the user sends multiple CTRL C termination sequences the battery falls below 7 5 V or a termination condition such as motor current or pressure occurs 2 After terminating a deployment the

10. In general the profile time limit will not be reached Setting the time limit to 8 hours maximizes the amount of time to reach the stop on each profile and each profile will likely terminate on pressure or pressure rate However if there are problems acquiring pressure measurements this approach will also result in the maximum amount of time pushing against the physical stop and wasting battery energy Range is 10 seconds to 8 hours in 1 second increments 6 18 BJMLANE RESEARCH LABORATORIES INC Stop Check Interval lt K gt Option lt K gt Stop check interval sets the frequency of checks during profile motion to determine if the MMP has reached a stop Stop check interval is also the rate at which the Profiler records data for non self logging sensors see Chapter 1 of this User Manual for more information about sensors During a profile the firmware periodically sends a data request to the CTD while the CTD is logging internally The CTD responds with the most recent scan of data which is parsed to extract the pressure used in the stop check internal algorithm The checks include examination of the ambient pressure the pressure rate the elapsed time battery voltage and motor current Sensors that are not self logging are also polled during stop checks The electronics enters suspend mode between checks Allowed range 2 seconds to 60 seconds in 1 second increments Infrequent checks 30 to 60 second intervals save
