Note also that if you have purchased a 650 without the barometer option, the selection Store barometer
will not be present. Decide whether or not you want to store GPS and barometer information with your
data file and activate/deactivate the Store Lat and Long and Store Barometer selections appropriately.
Leaving these selections active will occupy memory in the 650 during logging and this factor may be a
consideration if you have purchased a 650 with “Low” memory and you do not really require this
information in your file. Once these selections have been made, highlight the Edit site list selection and
press Enter to display the screen below. Note that you can use the left/right arrows to scroll between the
Filename and Site name selections and that tips about the meaning of these terms are provided at the
bottom of the display depending on the position of the cursor.
To make Site list entries for this application, begin by highlighting the Filename position, pressing Enter
and inputting the file name (WEST, in this case) from the keypad. Press Enter to confirm the entry and the
cursor will automatically move to the right for the entry of a Site name . Enter BLUE LAKE for the site
and press Enter to confirm the entry. The cursor will move automatically to the next Filename entry
position. Now enter EAST for the file name and BLUE LAKE for the site name, pressing Enter after each
entry to confirm. Your site list should appear like that in the following display.
You have now established a site list that will be available in the field for logging of data to two files on
BLUE LAKE -- EAST and WEST. To use this list, you need to first make certain that the entry Use site
list is active in the 650 logging setup. Then travel to the first location, identified by the Filename WEST,
activate the 650 Run display, and then select either a continuous data stream (Start logging ) or a single
data entry (Log single point) from the 650 logging window.
