6.3.2 Sampling Set Up
TideMaster is intended to be operated with burst type sampling. In burst modes the data will be collected for
a fixed period, e.g. 40 seconds, the data will be averaged and then the TideMaster will return to a sleep
mode for a defined interval, e.g. 6 minutes, until the next burst.
The TideMaster can also be operated in a continuous mode. If fitted with a pressure sensor, a reading will
be recorded every two seconds. No averaging is applied to the reading. If fitted with a radar sensor, a
reading will be output every ten seconds. This reading is an average of 5s of samples.

begin to log and output data according to the sampling scenario you have set.
Having established communications at a particular baud rate, you may wish to
change this to suit your particular requirements. For example, a higher baud
rate may be suitable for extracting large amounts of data, or a lower rate for
using longer cable lengths.
This button will close communications and return you to the opening screen.
