Refer to the Campbell Scientific, Inc. LoggerNet™ user’s manual for detailed information on the
collection and analysis of data. If data files are available, you may want to try the YSI Profile
Data Manager. See instructions on using this program in Section 7.2 of this manual.
7.2 YSI Profile Data Manager
Profile Data Manager™ is a data manager program intended for use with the YSI Profiler System.
It is used to analyze depth profile data, automate graphic creation, and set up graphic transmission

there are three distinct fields or panels. The first (labeled 1 in Figure 7-1) is related to data
analysis; 2 is related to set up automation for the profile parameters used in displaying graphs and
tables; and 3 is used to set up and test FTP settings related to the automation stations.
