The asterisks (*) that follow the numbers or letters indicate that the parameter will appear on all outputs
and reports. To turn a parameter on or off type the number or letter, that corresponds to the parameter, after
Select option. See Appendix J for instructions on activation of the parameter “DOsat %Local” and
ODOsat %Local”. The parameters “PAR1” and “PAR2” are associated with a special sonde equipped with
a sensor for Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) which can be purchased from the YSI
Massachusetts. See Section 9 of this manual for contact information and Appendix K for a brief
description of the PAR system for potential users.
Note that the units of turbidity are automatically presented as “turbid NTU” if a 6026 sensor has been
selected and “turbid+ NTU” if a 6136 sensor has been selected. The different designations are designed to
differentiate the data from the two sensors types in later analysis.
For parameters with multiple unit options such as temperature, conductivity, specific conductance,
resistivity and TDS, a submenu will appear as shown below, allowing selection of desired units for this
parameter.

After configuring your display with the desired parameters, press Esc or 0 to return to the Main menu.
Even if all of the sensors are enabled, the measurements for those sensors will not appear on your display
unless the parameter is selected in Report setup. In order for a specific parameter to show up on a report:
 The sensor must first be enabled (turned on).
 That parameter must be activated in the Report setup.
In the above example, if the appropriate sensors have been activated in the Sensor setup section, the
following parameters will be displayed to the computer screen or captured to a computer or data collection
platform when the sonde is sampling: Temperature in C, Specific Conductance in uS/cm, Dissolved
