     Deployment Interface       : Terminal
     Deployment Mode            : Controlled
     Power                      : Always Powered
     Water Salinity             : Low Salinity
     Interval Delay             : 0 Minutes
     Fast Profiling Mode        : Disabled


Would you like to change these settings? 
1 Yes
2 No
Enter your choice [1-2]:

If you select '1' to modify your settings, you will be prompted with a series of questions to configure the sensor's internal settings for your deployment:

What deployment interface are you using? 
1. Terminal 
2. Modbus
Enter your choice [1-2]:

Do you want to run the sensor in Controlled or Autonomous mode?
1. Controlled Mode
2. Autonomous Mode
Enter your choice [1-2]:

note

In controlled mode, the sensor remains continuously connected throughout deployment allowing you to control it directly at all times. In autonomous mode, the sensor is configured before deployment, and once deployed, operates independently.

Is your sensor always powered or will it be turned off between measurements?
1. Always Powered
2. Turned off between measurements
Enter your choice [1-2]:

Is your water low salinity (0.05-2.5ppt) or high salinity (2.5-40ppt)?
1. Low Salinity
2. High Salinity
Enter your choice [1-2]:

* What time delay would you like to set before the sensor starts measuring?
Enter value in minutes [0-1440]:

* This question will only be displayed if you have chosen Autonomous Mode and Always Powered

How long would you like to wait between measurements?
Enter value in minutes [10-240] or enter 0 for continuous measurements:

* Would you like to enable profiling mode for a faster response to pH changes, with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 pH unit?
1. Yes
2. No
Enter your choice [1-2]:

* This question will only be displayed if you have chosen Continuous Measurements

After answering the questions the splashscreen will be displayed with the new sensor settings and the configuration string.

tip

The configuration string can be used to set-up your sensor using a .ini file. More information on this can be found here.
