YSI 6000UPG - Manual (Page 52)

Select this option to name the site of the sample if you intend to log data while discrete sampling.
Up to 31 characters can be entered. However, remember that only the first 8 characters will be
used in naming the file after transfer to a computer or data logger. The site description you enter
will be displayed as the file name to help you identify the file later. If a discrete sampling file is
open, a new site description will not take effect until the existing file is closed.
Select this option to set up the number of seconds between samples. Enter the desired interval in
seconds. The default sample interval is 4 seconds.
Select this option to close any discrete sample file. A file is opened automatically whenever data is
logged to flash disk memory. When you exit discrete sample mode, you can close the file using this
function or you can leave it open and log to it later. In order to open a new discrete sample file, the
existing open discrete sample file must first be closed.
Select this option to set the Auto-stop timer to turn off a discrete sample after a selected amount of
time has passed. If you begin a discrete sample and forget to turn it off, battery life will be greatly
reduced. To set the timer, select and enter an appropriate amount of minutes for your application,
and the program will turn off discrete sampling after that many minutes have passed. Setting the
timer to 0 disables the function and discrete sampling will never be stopped by the Auto stop timer.
