Float diagnostics primarily for the monitoring of float health.
0x6[0-f]
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.
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.
0x1[0-f], 0x2[0-f], and 0x3[0-f]
Display of profile and trajectory information:
0x5[0-f]
Pressure-Time pairs taken periodically as the float measures its
profile (from Park to max pressure, to surface) In the left
panel, the data pairs are converted to vertical speed.
Red dots are from the latest cycle.
0x4[0-f]
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 left panel the data pairs are converted to vertical
speed. Red dots are from the latest cycle.
0x9[8-f], 0xa[8-f] 0xb[8-f]
Pressure, Temperature, and Salinity measurements taken during
the drift (park) phase. Red dots are from the latest cycle.
0xf0
Often changed configuration parameters are reported by the float
. Examples include parking and profile pressure, amongst
others.
