4. SONDE MENU

The Model 6000

UPG

functions are accessible through the sonde menu. The sonde menu structure

makes it simple and convenient to select functions. This section provides a description of the
menus and their capabilities.

When moving between menus within the sonde software structure, use the 0 or Esc key to backup
to the previous menu. To exit menus and return to the sonde command line (# sign), press 0 or
Esc until the question Exit menu (Y/N)? appears. Then type Y and press Enter. Type 'menu' and
Enter from command line to return to a display of the Main sonde menu.

To gain experience with the sonde menus, select Sonde from the PC6000 menu bar and press
Enter. The sonde Main Menu will be displayed.

4.1 RUN

Select 1. Run from the Main menu to choose a mode of operation, to begin taking readings or to
set up many of the parameters required for a study. There are three options on the Run menu
(described below).

IMPORTANT MESSAGE!

WHAT IF THERE IS NO RESPONSE TO A KEYSTROKE?

To save power, the 6000

UPG

will power down automatically if no interaction from the keyboard

occurs for approximately 30 seconds. When the software is in this “sleep” mode, the first
subsequent keystroke simply “wakes it up” and has no visible effect on the display. The next
keystroke after the unit is “awakened” will be input to the software in the intended manner. Thus,
if you press a key after the 6000

UPG

has been inactive for some time and nothing seems to happen,

press the key again.
