Notes
1. The letters X and Y in "QXY" are placeholder variables. The x can evaluate to "C" or "S", indicating whether a sensor has a cosine or scalar measurment geometry. The y can evaluate to "P" or "R", indicating whether a sensor is intended for profiling(A.K.A. underwater) or reference(A.K.A. surface) measurments. For example, a QSP sensor has a scalar measurment geometry and it intended for underwater or profiling measurements. Additionally, there exists versions of the scalar sensors which utilize a light pipe between the scalar sphere and the instrument in order to reduce self shading which are denoted with an "L" such as in QSL or QSPL instruments.
2. Digital output Q-Series (QXY 2150) as well as MICRO class (MPE, MAE, MLS, MPS) can be configured to free-run or automatically stream data over RS-232. However, sensors configured to free-run cannot be used with BSI software and require a data logger or terminal recording program to save streamed data.
Software is a crucial part of most modern scientific instruments and our products are no different in that regard. We have several pieces of software that are supplied with our instruments, at no extra charge. All currently offered software runs on Microsoft Windows, and is tested on Windows XP and later operating systems, including Windows 10. Windows 11 has been tested on most but not all of our software and has functioned normally. Although older BSI software has run on earlier versions of Windows in the past, we cannot support for earlier versions of software.
Please also see our Knowledge Base section of this website for answers to some common questions.
Some of the software listed above also supports TCP/IP-based delivery of acquired data to computers that are remote from the acquisition computer. This is useful to monitor operation of a remote logging computer, to display subsets of selected readings on display terminals, and for instrument test and characterization. An application note covers one use of this ability. For more information on TCP/IP-based data delivery please contact us.
