Streaming Live Data (Monitoring) - AML Oceanographic AML-6 RT User Manual

The Sensor Meta Data section provides information on how to interpret the results of the Sensor
Data table immediately following. For reference, Port refers to the sensor port that a sensor is
installed into on the instrument endcap (6 total ports in total on an AML- RT endcap). Auxiliary
sensors (such as DO and PAR) will be listed as being installed on Port 7 or 8.
In this example there are 6 sensors installed on the instrument. Port 1 (as labelled on the
endcap) has a combined Conductivity and Temperature sensor installed, so it is depicted as two
sensors - one with a Cond parameter, and one with a TempCT parameter. Likewise, Port 6 has
a combined sound velocity and temperature sensor installed.
The Measurement Meta Data section provides information on how to interpret the columns of
measurements when the instrument is streaming data.

Streaming live data (MONITORING)

Live data streaming is referred to as monitoring. To commence monitoring, issue the command
>MONITOR

The monitor command invokes the streaming of sensor measurements and derived parameters
if configured to do so. The instrument will continue to stream data indefinitely until manually
halted by command. Monitoring is halted by sending a carriage return (pressing enter).
The instrument can be configured to cease monitoring only on transmission of specific key
sequence, referred to as ROBUST MONITOR MODE. Refer to the Configuration section of this
document for details.
The Measurement Meta Data table contextualizes the provided data columns with respective
parameters and units. In this case, column 3 (first measurement 51.281) is for parameter Cond
(conductivity) in units of mS/cm.
Monitor behaviour and output format is configurable. Refer to the Configuration section of this
document for more details.
