Information (Steps 1-5)
In the first Step (General Information), you must indicate if you will use a depth sounder or
fixed reference sonde in your operation. In this example assume there is no depth sounder
sensor or fixed sonde in the system. Below are examples of applications where you may choose
using a depth sounder or fixed sonde, including its advantages in those specific applications.
You must also indicate in Step 1 if you have meteorological (MET) sensors or a compass in your
system. If there were a solar radiation sensor, a constant will be provided by YSI. In this
example, assume there are no MET sensors in use.
