When setting up a Fetch instrument for deployment in Subsea Array Manager (SAM) there are a number of steps to take. One of those is to check sensor readings early on to confirm good values and so help to ensure good operation.

Once your Fetch is powered on and connected to SAM, one of the early checks to carry out is on its sensor readings. You can carry out this check within the SAM interface by clicking ‘Check Sensors’.

This will report values from the basic fitted sensors, including an age of measurement, so you can confirm these are operating as expected. You can also check the battery capacity from within SAM.

Note: A Fetch instrument will make several measurements before the sensors are warmed up and are giving good values.
