Instrument: LongTrack Profiler

The LongTrack Profiler was a custom data acquisition system that used the ship's SAIL-loop acquisition system with SeaBird conductivity and temperature sensors. The LongTrack Profiler used the R/V Endeavor's IEEE standard serial ASCII instrumentation loop (SAIL) shipboard data communication system to record data from SeaBird conductivity and temperature sensors. The serial ASCII Instrumentation Loop (SAIL) was a hardware and software protocol that was used for collecting data from a variety of instruments aboard the research vessel.
