YSI BOD Analyst Pro ® User Manual 88
10.5 THE YSI PARAMETERS FORM
This form works with your YSI DO instrument to establish stability criteria, alarm conditions,
and options related to reading bottles. The program was initially designed for use with the YSI
5000/5100 but the settings apply to all YSI DO instruments used with BOD Analyst Pro. You can
change the settings on this form. The default settings are shown in the figure below.
Technique
This field describes the conditions that define a stable reading. If met the reading will be stored.
There are four options: Auto, Dual, Manual, and None.
Auto will start the auto-stable routine immediately after the bottle number is entered and will
store the reading as soon as the stability criteria are met. This is the fastest way to store readings.
Dual is a hybrid of Auto and Manual. The Auto routine starts immediately after the bottle number
is entered but will wait until the stability criteria are met and the user has pressed CONFIRM
before storing the reading. The order does not matter. If you press CONFIRM before the criteria
are met, the program will wait and then store the reading as soon as the criteria are met. If the
criteria are met before you press CONFIRM, then the program will display STBL on the YSI
5000/5100 DO Instrument and then store the reading when you press CONFIRM.
Manual will store the reading whenever you press CONFIRM, regardless of the stability criteria.
It will, however, display STBL on the YSI 5000/5100 DO instrument display when the criteria
are met.
None will turn the feature off. Stability criteria are not considered. You can press CONFIRM to
store a reading.
The default value is Manual.
