Seasave VERSION 5.39a
24 October 2007
BUG FIX:
a. Seasave erroneously
calculated oxygen as 0 ml/l if all of the following occurred:
(1) Using a .con file created and last saved before
implementation of the Murphy-Larson equation for SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen
(Seasave V7 and SBE Data Processing version 7.10; Seasave-Win32 version 5.38),
(2) The .con file includes SBE 43 oxygen and scan
time added is selected, and
(3) Using Seasave version 5.38 or 5.39.
