UHDAS ET Checklist

Cruise name: ______________________   Date:_____________________

Is USB disk mounted? _____________________ (It should automatically mount as /media/UHDAS when connected. If not, to mount, use "mount /media/UHDAS"; to check, use "df" and check that /media/UHDAS appears in the list of mounted devices.)
DO THIS AS USER "adcp"; YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ROOT.

In the OS38 Instrument Setup table, the first column contains the deep water (> 500 m) setup defaults and the second column contains the shallow water setup. Second column is our normal setup, assuming the usual LMG departure in shallow water. The only difference between the two is Bottom Track, which is toggled on in shallow water. Usually, for most of the cruise, Bottom Track will be off. Although the OS38 can run in BB mode, we are choosing (post August 2005) to only collect data in NB mode. Fill in the values used at the start of the cruise. For the NB150, BT is just a toggle, turn ON when water depth is < 500 m.
