Available in both shallow (600 m) and deep water (2000 m) configurations Satlantic’s series of PAR sensors provide the flexibility for measurements in any environment. In addition, sensors are also available with a logarithmic output specifically designed to interface with CTD’s or other devices that require a limited range of signal input.

- Support for profiling, in-situ and towing deployments
Download SatView 2.9.4
SatView 2.9 provides Windows 7 compatibility, improved PAR sensor support, wavelength range settings for spectral views, additional cast card fields for post-processing, and many more. Please refer to the release notes for a detailed list of recent improvements.
SatCon is a software utility for converting raw binary data, as logged by SatView, into readable ASCII text suitable for import by third party applications such as spreadsheets or databases. Data can be extracted in calibrated physical units or raw binary counts. SatCon can be operated interactively through a user friendly graphical interface, or in batch mode as a background process.
For minimum system requirements, installation instructions, and new features, please refer to the release notes in the SatCon User Manual.

How do I return my Satlantic instrument for service?
Before returning your Satlantic product to us for service please contact our support team either by calling us or by filling out the Support Contact Form on the left menu of this page. Many times, we can troubleshoot problems remotely and pre-empt the need to send your equipment back to us.
If we determine that you do, indeed, need to return your equipment we will assign you an RMA (Return Materials Authorization) number and provide you with shipping instructions.
What are SIP files?
Files that are delivered with Satlantic and third party equipment to describe the sensors data output and calibration coefficients come in two types. Calibration files or *.cal files and telemetry definition format files or *.tdf files. In some cases, systems are created that network many sensors together and their combined data is provided in one serial output.
The simplest example is a HOCR sensor that generates both light and dark frames. A more complex example is a HPROII profiling system that may contain as many as 5 sensors and 7 individual calibration and tdf files. These files must be used to both collect and process the data.
This can become quite confusing to keep track of all these files so Satlantic developed SIP files. All CAL and TDF files required for a system are zipped using winzip and the extension changed from *.ZIP to *.SIP. The file name includes the system description (usually the network master serial number) and the creation date. This SIP file can then be used in place of individual files to collect and process data.
