SeatermAF^© is part of our Seasoft V2 software suite. SeatermAF is a terminal program for interfacing with Sea-Bird instruments that include Auto-Fire capability for operating a water sampler autonomously on non-conducting cable:

• SBE 17plus V2 Searam used with a SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler and an SBE 9plus CTD
• Carousel Auto Fire Module (AFM) used with a SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler and an SBE 19 (older product), 19plus (older product), or 19plus V2 SeaCAT Profiler CTD, 25 (older product), SBE 25plus Sealogger CTD *, SBE 50 Digital Oceanographic Pressure Sensor, or with no CTD
• SBE 55 ECO Water Sampler (which has built-in auto fire capability) used with an SBE 19 (older product), 19plus (older product), or 19plus V2 SeaCAT Profiler CTD, 25 (older product), SBE 25plus Sealogger CTD *, or with no CTD

*Note: SBE 25plus CTD is not compatible with SeatermAF versions < 2.0c.

SeatermAF can send commands to an instrument to provide status display, data acquisition setup, data retrieval, and diagnostic tests. Data uploaded with SeatermAF can typically be processed with the post-processing software in Seasoft V2 (SBE Data Processing).

There is no manual for SeatermAF, but its use is covered in the instrument manuals (17plus V2, AFM, and SBE 55) and in SeatermAF's Help menu.

SeatermAF was designed to work with a PC running Win XP Service pack 2 or later, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.

If you discover reproducible bugs in SeatermAF, please document the steps taken to achieve them and send a report to David Goldsmith (dgoldsmith@seabird.com). We welcome any suggestions for new features and enhancements.
