YSI Profiler System USER Manual
Items are added to your computer’s Start menu under Programs | YSI | ProFile Manager that start
the program. If the default directories are used, Profile Data Manager executable files and help
files are placed in the C:\ Program Files\ YSI\ ProFile Manager Directory. YSI recommends a
separate subfolder for each deployment site.
Once installed, Profile Data Manager™ allows you to organize, report, and plot data from your
profiling routine. You will learn more about Profile Data Manager in later sections of this
manual.
Your PC-based programs should now be installed and ready to use. You will next create a file
that defines your profiling routine. In order to create this file using Profile Wizard, you will
need to verify that certain sonde parameters are set properly. Refer to instructions below that
describe how certain sonde parameters must be set. You may also refer to Section 3 in this
manual for more detail on these sonde settings.
2.2 Using Profile Wizard to Create a Profiling Routine
You are now ready to create a file with information that describes your profiling routine. Make
certain your YSI sonde is configured properly, and calibrated for parameters you wish to
measure. It is recommended that you sketch out your profile plans. This will help you work
through Profile Wizard minimizing the need to backtrack and recalculate. See the example in
Figure 2-4.
