This chapter describes how to operate the applications in order to fully utilize and configure the Level Scout. Before proceeding in this
chapter, install the applications as described in Section 2.
All screen shots in this chapter are of Data Scout (desktop) and so have tabs on the top of the application window. The tabs for the
Mobile application are located at the bottom of the window.

3.1.1 LAUNCH THE APPLICATIONS
To start Data Scout Mobile click on the Start Menu > Programs > Data Scout Mobile.
To start Data Scout click on the Start Menu > Programs > YSI > Data Scout, or double-click on the YSI Data Scout desktop icon.
The main screen will open (Figure 3.1). Notice that the “main” form has a menu bar with two labeled menu items across the top of the
form of the application. This menu appears at the bottom of the screen for the Mobile application. Also, notice the instructions in
white type along the bottom. It prompts the user to use the Transducer menu to start looking for the transducer. If you hover your
mouse cursor over this the Welcome message or the transducer picture, a large Tooltip appears summarizing the various Start
methods. Double-clicking on the transducer picture is a short-cut to the frequently-used Previous Start method. All three Start
methods are described in the next section.
