6.3 UPLOAD TO PC

This frequently used command is used to transfer data files resident in the 650 memory (either logged directly
or uploaded from sonde memory) to a PC that is running YSI EcoWatch for Windows software. Once
transferred, the data can be custom configured, plotted, and reported in tabular form using this software
package. The data can also be exported from EcoWatch in spreadsheet compatible form if the user prefers
this method of data analysis and management. In order to carry out the upload of data files to your PC, you
must first connect the 650 to a serial port of your computer via the 655174 PC Interface cable as shown in the
following diagram:

After the connection is made, run EcoWatch for Windows, click on the sonde icon in the upper toolbar, and
set the Comm port number to match your interface. After this setup procedure, the following screen will be
present on your PC monitor:
