Press the arrow keys until “SDI-12 DATA” is blinking, then press

↵. You will see the screen below:

Select “SCAN SDI-12 SONDES” and press

↵. The system will

scan to see what sondes are connected. If it detects a different
sonde, it will indicate so, and advance to the setup screens.

6.3 Teledyne Isco Ready

Sondes

If the 6712 scans for sondes and finds one that is Teledyne Isco
Ready, it will automatically recognize the sonde’s data types and
units. You can then use Hardware options to setup the defini-
tions for data storage and calibrate the sonde.

Even with a teledyne Isco Ready sonde, the 6712 may find a
parameter that is not on its list of supported parameters (Figure
6-1). It can still work with such a parameter. Such a parameter
will be identified as something like “05DATA1” and you will have
to mentally associate the appropriate data type with that label.
However, once such data is brought into Flowlink™, data sets
can be manually changed so that reports show the appropriate
labels.

6.4 Other SDI-12 Sondes

If you have connected an SDI-12 sonde that is not Teledyne Isco
Ready, you will need to define the sonde’s data values.

When you select the address of the sonde you want to set up (see
screens in the margin), the company model and other infor-
mation will be displayed along with the number of data values
the sonde has.

When you advance to the next screen (see #3 below), the data
types will be listed as “OTHER” because you have not defined
them yet. Move between the data types using the arrow keys.
Select one to change by pressing

↵.

A list of possible parameters will be displayed (see #4 below). Use
the arrow keys to move through the options. When the one you
want is blinking, press

↵. Repeat the process until you have

defined all of the data parameters for your sonde.

Use the arrow key to move to “DONE” and press

↵. You will then

be asked if you want to store the parameter data.
