YSI Data Scout - Manual (Page 12)

Important: Exit also restores the original communication rate and the original (or possibly modified) state of any Broadcast options.
Therefore, you must select Transducer > Exit to restore these original settings to the transducer. For this reason, it is also important to
select Transducer > Exit or Transducer > Stop when disconnecting one transducer and connecting a different one to the PC.

3.2 LIVE TAB
The ‘Live Data’ tab provides live readings as well basic information about the Level Scout. The top of the window identifies the model
and serial number of your instrument in addition to the firmware version installed and the operating pressure range. The green status
bar indicates the transducer’s remaining battery life.
3.2.1 VIEW LIVE DATA
The applications display live level and temperature readings in the center of the window next to their respective labels. In Data Scout,
you can change the size of the numerical readouts by clicking directly on the numbers (Figure 3.8). In Data Scout Mobile, a small
rectangle appears left ofthe live level and temperature readings. Click the rectangle to change the font sizes in Data Scout Mobile.

3.2.2 CHANGE LEVEL UNITS
Clicking the Level Units Label button next to the live level reading open the ‘Select Level Units’ window (Figure 3.9). Here, the user
may select one of the included measurement units or insert a scale factor that will convert PSI to the desired units. Note: the ‘A’ or ‘V’
displayed after the unit labels on the Level Units Label button indicate an Absolute or Vented level, respectively.
Users may configure transducers to output data in any unit required for the intended application. Some of the more common units of
measurement are incorporated in this program and in the transducer as configuration options. Occasionally, an installation will
require units of measurement other than those included by default, so provisions are included to allow entry of custom conversion
