YSI Incorporated 49 650 MDS
•
Log continuous data stream data at long or short sample intervals to sonde memory, as long as the
study is started from the Run menu of the sonde.
•
Log continuous data stream data at long or short sample intervals up to 15 minutes to 650 memory
using the Sample interval selection in the Logging setup menu of the 650.
•
Log data from the 650 internal barometer to the memory of the 650.
•
Log data from a user-supplied GPS unit to the memory of the 650, as long as the GPS unit is set up in
NMEA format and has the proper cable.
•
Log data with minimal keypad entry from the 650 display by using default file naming.
•
Assign custom file and site names using the 650 keypad at the logging site.
•
Set up custom site lists in the office or laboratory that are instantly available in the field to simply
file/site management.
•
Set up Site Designations that are characterized by a File Name and a Site Name for simple logging of
data from a single site to a single file.
•
Set up Site Designations that are characterized by a File Name, a Site Name, and a Site number which
correlates with the Site name. These lists allow the logging of data from more than one site to the
same file.
•
Easily view data on the 650 display that has been stored to either sonde or 650 memory.
•
Easily upload data that has been stored in either sonde or 650 memory to a PC for analysis using
EcoWatch for Windows software from YSI.
5.4.2 SUMMARY OF 650 LOGGING LIMITATIONS
WITH A 650/YSI SONDE SYSTEM, THE USER CANNOT:
•
Log GPS and/or barometer data to sonde memory.
•
Log GPS and/or barometer to 650 memory without a sonde attached and the 650 in Run mode. See
Sections 8.2 and 9.4 below.
•
Log data to existing files in 650 memory if the data format does not EXACTLY match that of the data
already in the file. Typical examples of this type of “file mismatch” include:
•
Attempting to append existing data files after changing the parameter list.
•
Attempting to append existing data containing a Site Number to a file that contains data
without Site numbers.
•
Attempting to append existing data containing NO site number to a file that contains data with
Site numbers.
•
Attempting to append existing files containing GPS and/or barometer data after deactivating
the storage of these parameters in Logging setup.
