DISCRETE SAMPLING
Discrete sampling is usually used in short term, spot sampling applications when the user is present at the
site and the unit is attached to a data logger or laptop PC. It could be used in the vertical profiling of a lake
or river where the user lowers the sonde incrementally into the water, and data acquired for a few minutes
at each depth. In this section, you will learn how to use the sonde menu structure to open and close files,
set the interval between samples, start the sampling operation, and log data to the internal memory of the
sonde.
Select
1-Discrete sample from the Run menu. The Discrete sample menu will be displayed.
