1.4 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The manual is organized to let you quickly understand and operate the 6000 UPG system. However, it
cannot be stressed too strongly that informed and safe operation is more than just knowing which
buttons to push. An understanding of the principles of operation, calibration techniques, and
system setup is necessary to obtain accurate and meaningful results.
Sections 2 and 3 help you get started, providing initial setup information as well as calibration and
basic operating instructions. Sections 4 and 5 provide detailed information on the Sonde software
structure and YSI PC6000 software, respectively. PC6000 is PC-based software designed to help
the user to easily generate reports and plots from the data collected by the sonde. Sections 6-8
address principles of operation, sonde and sensor maintenance, and system troubleshooting.
Section 9 provides more detailed information on communications protocols. Section 10 provides
service and repair information. The appendices (A-H) provide information on safety, warranty,
accessories, options, storage recommendations, and more.
