Float Data
& Plots
Message Description
Engineering Diagnostics 0xe0, 0xe2,
0xe3, and 0xe5
Float diagnostics primarily for the monitoring of float health.
Buoyancy Pump
Diagnostics
0x60 Buoyancy pump monitoring information as float ascends and descends.
The first value is usually around 100dbar and indicates the pumping
done to target the park depth. Seek periods may follow. From profile
pressure to the surface, the float attempts to maintain a constant rate.
GPS Reports 0x00, 0x01,
0x02, 0x03,
and 0x05
Position fixes returned by the float. First GPS fix occurs just after
surfacing. Second GPS fix occurs just before leaving the surface.
An estimate of the Iridium Position is also displayed.
NOTE: the 2nd GPS fix is transmitted in the subsequent cycle,
thus the most recent cycle will not have reported both positions.
Quad Plot 0x1[0,1,...x],
0x2[0,1,...x],
and 0x3[0,1,...x]
Display of profile and trajectory information:
Rise Plot 0x50 Pressure-Time pairs taken periodically as the float makes its profile
(from Park to max pressure to Surface). In the upper panel, the data
pairs are converted to vertical speed. Red dots are from the latest cycle.
Fall Plot 0x40 Pressure-Time pairs taken periodically as the float descends from the
surface to its park pressure. A large temporal gap between the last few
data points indiate a SEEK period. In the upper panel the data pairs are
converted to vertical speed. Red dots are from the latest cycle.
Configuration
Parameters
0xf0 Often changed configuration parameters are reported by the
float. This includes parking pressure, park interval,
and profile pressure, amongst others
