2. You have selected more parameters in the Sonde Report Setup than can be viewed on the
computer screen. Remove time and date and/or other less important parameters in the Report
Setup Menu so that all selected parameters are visible in Discrete Sample display.
3. The name which you entered for your data file already exists on your storage disk, but the file
format for the initial study is different from the current file format. Change the name of the
data file or delete the existing data file of this name from your disk.
4. You exited the Discrete Sample mode of the sonde software using Esc rather than F10.
Return to the Sonde menu and select Run. Restart the Start sampling mode and exit with
F10 to the PC6000 menu bar. Choose Real-Time and press Enter.
