data corruption: PacIOOS CTD

Gordon Walker (PacIOOS, University of Hawai`i), Mike Shoemaker (AOML Electronics Tech) and myself, Mike Jankulak (AOML, University of Miami) are working together to access the data stored on the PacIOOS CTD.

Gordon purchased a replacement Y-Cable from SeaBird which arrived in Honolulu on December 6th.  He then shipped it to Shoe, who connected it to the recovered CTD so that I could communicate with it.

Communications are possible but the memory appears to be corrupted.  Attempts to download the stored data have so far yielded nothing but garbage data past September 6th, 2011.  This point is just more than a year earlier than the sensor's recovery so we are hoping that more data can be recovered.  Gordon will be consulting with his SeaBird contacts about this issue.
