2.2 UNDERSTANDING THE 650 MEMORY
The 650 is available with two memory options – “low” and “high”.
The less expensive low memory option (650-01 and 650-03) is designed for users who typically use their 6-
series sondes in sampling applications and store limited data to their logger. The available memory of the
low memory option (ca. 10 kB) will allow the user to log approximately 150 field readings to a single file
in the 650 although the exact logging capability is dependent on the number of parameters active in the 6-
series sonde. Note also that if multiple files are utilized, the number of logged field readings will be
reduced. In addition, the low memory option will also allow the user to upload small files to the 650 that
have been logged to the internal memory of sondes during Discrete or Unattended sampling studies.
The high memory option (1.5 mB) of the 650 is designed for users who log large files directly to the 650 or
who wish to upload large (or many) files to the 650 from the internal memory of sondes which have been
