2.9.1 RUN
Select 1-Run from the Main menu to begin taking readings or to set/verify the parameters required for a
study. There are two options in the Run menu.
DISCRETE SAMPLING
Discrete sampling is usually used in short term, spot sampling applications when the user is present at the
site and the unit is attached to a 650 MDS Display/Logger or laptop PC. It could be used in the vertical
profiling of a lake or river where the user lowers the sonde incrementally into the water, and data acquired
for a few minutes at each depth. In this section, you will learn how to use the sonde menu structure to
open and close files, set the interval between samples, start the sampling operation, and log data to the
internal memory of the sonde.
Select 1-Discrete sample from the Run menu. The Discrete sample menu will be displayed.
