3.4.3 COMMON OPERATIONS USING THE 650 SONDE MENU
SELECTION
The following section provides brief instructions for carrying out frequently used sonde activities via the
Sonde menu selection of the 650. The instructions do not provide the detail of the examples above,
assuming that the user understands how to navigate the menus with the Enter, Escape, and Arrow keys
and is able to make alpha/numeric entries from the keypad.
3.4.3.1 Running the sonde in real-time
This function can be accomplished either automatically from the Sonde run selection of the 650 menu or
by using the Sonde menu selection to activate the Run|Discrete Sample submenu of the Main 6-series
menu. If the Sonde run selection is made, data automatically appears on the screen at a sample interval of
approximately 1 second. However, if the user chooses to use the Run function from the sonde menu, the
sample rate can be set to higher values in the Discrete Sample menu. This feature will be described in
detail in Section 3.5.2. To Run the sonde from the Discrete sample menu, highlight Start sampling and
press the Enter key.
3.4.3.2 Setting up a sonde for deployment
Use the 650 Sonde menu selection to access Run|Unattended sample and then proceed with the setup for
the monitoring study as described in detail in Section 2 of the 6-series manual. Use the keypad to set the
sample interval and input file and site names. Then highlight Start logging and press Enter to begin the
Unattended study in which data is logged directly to the sonde memory. Finally, disconnect the 650 and
deploy the sonde.
3.4.3.3 Uploading data from sondes to the 650
Use the 650 Sonde menu selection to access the sonde File menu and then choose either a Quick upload
(all data in the last file) or Upload (complete or partial data in any sonde file) as described in detail in
Section 2 of the 6-series manual. After the proper selection is made, press Enter and the file will be
transferred automatically to the 650 memory with the 650 display indicating that an upload is in progress.
The uploading of data files from sondes to the 650 is demonstrated in greater detail in Section 3.7 below.
