YSI Vertical Profiler Systems - Manual (Page 20)

YSI Profiler System USER Manual
At this point you are ready to move to the next screen to verify specific information in the sonde
menu and then to assign sonde report parameters. However, before moving to these last two
screens, make note of how profile setup screens would differ if a Depth Sounder or a Fixed
Reference Sonde were used to determine sonde vertical position relative to the top or bottom of
the water column. After these examples, Profile Wizard setup screens will be displayed for the
original example application.
Depth Sounder Option
The General Information Step 1 screen would appear as follows, marking the Depth Sounder
with a click of the mouse. Step 2 and Step 3 related to cable/reel and site information,
respectively would remain unchanged. Step 4 takes on a very different look since the final depth
reading is referenced from the bottom. See figures below.
Fixed Reference Sonde Option
The General Information Step 1 screen would appear as follows, marking the Depth Sounder
with a click of the mouse. Step 2 and Step 3 related to cable/reel and site information,
respectively would remain unchanged. Step 4 takes on a very different look since the final depth
reading is referenced from the bottom.
On the next two pages see the differences in setup screens when using the depth tracking options
listed immediately above.
