YSI 6000UPG - Manual (Page 43)

3-11
Select this option to set up a timer to automatically turn off discrete sampling. If you begin a
discrete sample and forget to turn it off later, battery life will be greatly reduced. For this reason,
the Auto-stop timer can be set up to automatically turn off any active discrete sample if it has been
left on for a specified period of time. Simply type in what you feel is an appropriate amount of
minutes, and the program will turn off discrete sampling after that many minutes have passed.
Setting the timer to 0 disables the Auto-stop timer and discrete sampling will never be stopped by
the Auto-stop timer.
After you have become familiar with these selections, press 1-Start Discrete Sample and observe
the data appear on your computer screen. The general format of the display will be as follows,
although the detail will depend on which parameters which you have activated.
