    2012 for most of the AADI smart sensors. (See Appendix 6 ) Pressure Sensor 4117, Tide Sensor 5217 and Wave & Tide Sensor 5218 is designed to fit directly on the top-end plate of SeaGuard or in a string system connected to SmartGuard or SeaGuard String logger using AiCaP. The sensor can also be used as stand-alone sensor using RS-232.

The tide calculations are always based on the latest samples in time, so even though you specify a longer averaging time, e.g. 8 minutes averaging, the computed value for tide will be calculated from a running sample set and a new value sent as an output message at the 1s to 255minute interval according to your settings for the output interval.
