YSI BOD Analyst Pro ® User Manual 44
The YSI 5100 system accommodates a serial barcode reader (optional accessory) that may be
useful to speed the entry of bottle numbers. The bottle number entry appears both on the YSI
5100 display and in the Take Readings window shown above.
You may consider using a commercially available barcode reader that connects to your computer
via 9-pin serial or USB serial port. If you click on the Bottle # field of the Bench Sheet screen and
trigger the barcode reader the bottle number will be entered without typing it in. This approach
may help eliminate typing errors for some applications. See Section xx for more information on
using bar code reader use.
5.7 ADD A BOTTLE TO THE BATCH
If you need to add a bottle (e.g., another dilution) after you have entered the Batch into the Bench
Sheet use the New Bottle icon (upper left quadrant of Bench Sheet screen). Locate the Sample on
the Bench Screen that you would like to add a bottle. Click on the Sample Name where you
would like to insert the new bottle. Click on New Bottle icon. The following message may pop
up to ask you about saving information and data that you have entered to this point.
Click Yes to preserve bottle numbers and entries to this point. The desired Sample Name will
appear in the row just below where you clicked to add a bottle. See the figure below.
