At this point you may add general notes related to your batch under Notes, or notes relevant
to specific bottles by clicking on the Sample Name of the bottle and entering the note in the

The Serial Number function is turned off in this Quick Start exercise. The Check Result

Once the bottle number entry is complete you may begin taking initial DO readings. The top
line Read menu will be used to initiate this function.
6. Read Initials. The procedure to “Read Initials” may differ depending on the DO instrument
you use. The YSI 52, YSI 5000, and YSI 5100 allow the user to read and confirm DO
readings from the instrument keypad or PC. The YSI Professional Series instruments require
confirmation at the PC keyboard. In the example above the ProODO has been used in the
example, thus the bottles must be within view and reach of the PC monitor and keyboard.
