5 PROFILING
All models of the Multi-Parameter TROLL 9500 include a software
feature called the Profiler that delivers instant real-time readings on
all available channels. Readings are continuously updated as long as
the Profiler is running. This provides a convenient way to characterize
surface waters using a hand-held controller running Pocket-Situ.

Q:
A:
Can I do profiling if the MP TROLL 9500 is running a
test?
Yes, but you may need to wait to get a reading if the test
measurement interval is short. The Profiler will defer to the
test measurement schedule.
