No user operation is needed after system power-on. The pCO2 analyzer and a Thermosalinograph (TSG, CTD) are standard sensors. The pCO2 data can optionally be referenced with standard gas(es), so that qualified data can be recorded in the SOCAT database.
Complete system with data supply, data storage, power supplies and optional touch screen.
