If the bottle is ready then press either the
YSI 5100 keypad or the program display.
The ACCEPT/CONFIRM button on the
keypad or program window “confirms”
you are ready for the reading to begin.
Once the reading begins there are
stabilization criteria set up under YSI
Instrument Parameters that determine when
a stable value has been achieved (see
Section 10 under Criteria in the user
manual).
During the read operation the displays take on a new appearance. See below:
Bottle #11 is now being read and the
Sample Name and dilution is shown. The
letter “f” in the program display denotes
“final”. The temperature and DO reading
are shown in the program display while the
YSI 5100 shows the DO reading only.
A progress bar moves to show that the
reading is in progress using the criteria set
for stabilization. When the Stable Value
illuminator turns bright green the reading
has been accepted by the program.
Depending on the Auto Stabilization technique you have chosen the reading may be
automatically accepted and entered into the Bench Sheet as in Auto (above), or the next step will
require user intervention in pressing the ACCEPT/CONFIRM button on the Windows display or
on the YSI 5100. Note that if this were not a YSI 5100 (5000 or 52), then the BOD Analyst Pro
display must be used to ACCEPT the reading with mouse click or enter key.
Below are the options to set up Auto Stabilization techniques for BOD readings.
NOTE: Refer to Section 6 for more information on taking readings. The alarm conditions for
temperature and supersaturation also apply to taking finals although you have the option to set
different criteria for Final read temperatures than used for Initials.
