3.5 RETRIEVING DATA FROM THE 6000
UPG
Attach the PC cable to the 6000
UPG
. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port of your
computer.
Run the PC6000 software and select Sonde from the top-line menu using the arrow keys.
NOTE: If communication with the sonde fails, first check all cable connections and the comm port
information under Setup of the PC6000 top-line menu. If all cable connectors are properly attached
and the comm port setting is correct, it is likely that the sonde batteries have been depleted. To
replace the sonde batteries see Section 2.2.
From the sonde Main menu select 1. Run.
NOTE: If the instrument is busy taking a sample it will display the following message:
** Instrument is busy.
Please wait. **
Wait until the Run menu appears and select 3. Unattended Sample. The screen will display a
prompt asking if you wish to cancel the unattended sampling study.
