The July 16 batch will appear as shown below. This example of an Open Batch containing 13
bottles will be ready for Final readings 5 days from its setup, or on July 21.


7.2 TAKING A FINAL READING


The example above assumes that you are using a YSI 5100 at COM4 to take readings. Below are
instructions for using the 5100 DO meter. There will be prompts at both the YSI 5100 display and
simultaneously at the BOD Analyst Pro display.

Keep in mind that if this were a YSI Pro-series like the YSI ProODO / BOD system the PC
displays would be the same, but the ProODO display would simply be displaying DO reading,
temperature and any other parameters you set up to display at the ProODO. Remember that the
PC and keyboard must be convenient to see and reach if taking BOD readings with the Pro-series.

Select Read / Finals from the BOD Analyst Pro software main menu. The YSI 5100 DO
instrument display and the BOD Analyst Pro display appear as shown below. The prompt for you
to “accept/reject” shows that you want to read Bottle #11, asks that the BOD probe is in place
(assume stirring on), and that the bottle is ready to read. The sample name Effluent is also shown.
