SeatermV2© is a terminal program
launcher for interfacing with Sea-Bird
instruments developed or redesigned in 2006 and later. The common feature of
this generation of instruments is the ability to output status responses in XML. SeatermV2
can be used with the following instruments:
- SBE
16plus V2 SEACAT C-T Recorder
(version 2.0 or later firmware)
with RS-232 or RS-485 interface --
Note: The RS-485 version firmware for the 16plus V2 is not available
yet.
- SBE
16plus-IM V2
SEACAT C-T Recorder (version 2.0 or later firmware) with Inductive Modem
interface
- SBE
19plus V2
(version 2.0 or later firmware) SEACAT Profiler
- SBE
37-SMP,
37-SM,
37-SIP,
37-SI (all version 3.0
or later firmware) MicroCAT and
37-SMP-IDO,
37-SIP-IDO MicroCAT, with RS-232 or RS-485 interface

SeatermV2 launches one of the following
terminal programs, depending on the communication protocol required for the
selected instrument:
- Seaterm232 -- for instruments that
communicate via RS-232
- Seaterm485 -- for instruments that
communicate via RS-485
- SeatermIM -- for instruments that
communicate via Inductive Modem telemetry
- SeatermUSB -- for instruments that
communicate via USB telemetry
The terminal programs can send commands to
the instrument to provide status display, data acquisition setup, data
retrieval, and diagnostic tests. Data uploaded with the terminal programs can be
processed with the post-processing software in SEASOFT V2 (SBE Data Processing).
Note: SBE Data processing cannot process data from the SBE 56 Temperature
Logger, or SBE 54 or PN 90588
Tsunameter.
There is no manual for these terminal
programs, but their use is
covered in the instrument manuals and in the Help menus.
SeatermV2 was written for use on
systems running Windows 2000/XP; testing using Windows Vista and Windows 7
(32-bit) has not shown any compatibility problems.
