Skip B-View params to log in this initial test study. This feature will be explained in detail in Section
2.9, Sonde Menu.
After making the above entries, the sonde software will automatically calculate the expected battery life,
and the time it will take for the sonde memory to be filled. This information is displayed on the screen for
your consideration as items 8, 9, and A. If the battery life or the free memory capacity will be exceeded
sooner than the duration, you may want to make some changes to the entries. For example, you can free up
memory in the sonde by uploading all existing data from the sonde memory to your PC and then deleting
them out of the sonde (see 3-File from Main Menu). You may want to change the batteries for longer
battery life. You can lengthen the sampling interval to extend both battery life and memory capacity.
Review the screen below, which now displays the entries made above and reflects your logging conditions.
Once you press C-Start logging, a screen will appear to request confirmation.
Select 1-Yes and the screen will change.
