6.1 ENTERING BOTTLE NUMBERS
You may enter bottle numbers in a Batch in several ways. For small batches, especially less than
15 to 20 bottles where no special characters are needed, manual entry by the keypad into the
Bench Sheet is simple and fast. When the batch size is large and/or you use barcode labeling then
a barcode reader is practical and likely to improve accuracy. If you have a YSI 5100 you have the
option to enter bottle numbers at the 5100 keypad, although this is very time consuming
compared to using the YSI barcode reader accessory. You will learn about each method in the
following subsections.
6.1.1 USING THE YSI 5000/5100 DO INSTRUMENT
The YSI 5000/5100 instrument keypad method will be described below. Each diagram is a
simulation of the information on the keypad. The instrument must be in Remote Mode and
communicating with the BOD Analyst Pro software. Sample Names should be limited to 8
characters for the YSI 5000/5100 display to provide proper information.
Select Read / Initial from the BOD Analyst Pro main menu to view the following:
Click ACCEPT/CONFIRM to begin taking measurements. Assign Bottle # 001 and again click
ACCEPT/CONFIRM. The reading appears both on the YSI display and the BOD Analyst Pro
Take Readings pop-up box.
NOTE: The YSI 5000/5100 display accommodates 15 characters and spaces combined. Sample
Names should be kept brief (<8 characters) when using the YSI 5000/5100 to optimize displayed
information at the instrument. For the PC display the Sample Names may be considerably longer.
