A high-accuracy, moored, conductivity and temperature (pressure optional) recorder with Serial interface (RS-232 or RS-485), internal batteries, memory, optional pump, and optional optical dissolved oxygen sensor. The MicroCAT is designed for moorings or other long-duration, fixed-site deployments for fully autonomous applications. Data is recorded in memory and can be output in real-time. Measured data and derived variables (salinity, sound velocity) are output in engineering units. Conductivity and temperature (and optional pressure) sampling options at user-programmable 6-sec to 6-hour intervals. Memory capacity exceeds 530,000 samples. Sampling every 2 minutes, the MicroCAT can be deployed for 2 years (battery endurance exceeds memory capacity).
