Sensor Bootup; Streaming Data - AML Oceanographic AML-1 RT User Manual

4. Connect the flying leads to a power source (8-30V) and apply power. This will
immediately cause the instrument and sensor to boot.

2.1.2 Sensor Bootup

The basic startup sequence for all X2change sensors is identical. Default operation is for output
to commence with a continuously transmitted identifying header sentence. This sentence is
repeated at a rate of 20 Hz for approximately 2 seconds, after which the device automatically
switches to streaming measurement data at a rate of 25 Hz.
An example bootup sequence is shown to the
right. Upon the application of power, the
X2Change sensor streams an identification
header for 2 seconds, then switches to
monitor mode where it will continuously
stream data at a rate of 25 Hz.
In this example, the Sound Velocity sensor is
in air so it is measuring 0000.000 m/s.
It is possible to interrupt the identifying header
by sending a carriage return. The device will
then switch to streaming measurements.

2.1.3 Streaming Data

After bootup, data streaming will continue indefinitely until interrupted by a power cycle or by
sending any ASCII character. When halted, the AML-1 RT will land at a command prompt, as
shown below:
