Getting Started With Sailfish (Usb-C Or Serial Connector) - AML Oceanographic AML-6 RT User Manual

2. After configuration, verify the desired functionality in an 'as-deployed' state by
connecting to a serial terminal via the MCBH connector and streaming live data with the
instrument submerged in a saltwater bath. This process is described in the following
section: Getting Started with Serial
3. If the instrument is configured to internally log data, conduct a post-deployment data
retrieval by removing the instrument from the saltwater bath and re-connecting it to the
provided interface software via its USB-C connection. Use the software to download the
logged files. Note that the USB-C connection must be used to download logged
data.

2.3 Getting started with Sailfish (USB-C or Serial Connector)

The preferred (but not the only) method of communicating with the instrument is via AML's
software interface, Sailfish; a user-friendly GUI-based platform which allows users to easily
configure an instrument, observe live sensor measurements (live data streaming), and
download logged data. Sailfish may be downloaded free of charge from the AML
Oceanographic website (www.AMLoceanographic.com).
Sailfish provides the easiest means of adjusting the instrument's configuration and supports
both USB-C and RS-232 connections. Advanced commands not accessible via the GUI exist
and can be applied via command line. Refer to section Configuring an Instrument in this
document for more details.
To use Sailfish to configure the AML-6 RT instrument, follow the procedure described below:
