6 Set Up

There are two main methods of configuring the TideMaster. If the instrument has a control/display panel it

can be fully configured using this. Both the display and non-display TideMaster can also be configured using

TideMaster Express.

TideMaster can be interrupted immediately after power on and until the end of the first burst period. The

TideMaster cannot be interrupted during a sleep period so it will be necessary to wait for the next burst

period before the instrument can be interrupted.

If interruption is required without waiting for the next burst period, the unit can be powered down and

powered up to allow interruption. See section 3 for detail of how to cycle the power.

This section shows the menu options available and the inputs required. Navigation through the menus is

achieved using a combination of the four buttons on the front of the TideMaster.

Button Functions:

Power Button:

Left hand Button:

Central Button:

Right hand Button:

This is where the TideMaster is configured, calibration parameters entered and output units defined.

Attached sensors must be enabled, which then opens up the configuration menu for that sensor. See

Section 7 for detailed instructions on how to perform site calibrations.
