SAMPLING APPLICATIONS
Sampling applications refer to readings that are taken
while the user is present and controlling the collection of
data. In sampling applications the total data collection
time is relatively brief, from a few minutes to perhaps a
few hours.
The YSI 610 has several storage options for sampling
applications. Because the interpretation and use of the
Site List depends on which feature you use, we recom-
mend that you choose one method that best suits your
needs, learn that method and ignore the others. Storage
options are:
STASH - Data are not intended to be uploaded to a PC.
Data are stored in 26 slots, each referred to by letter (A-
Z). Weather data scan be stored in the same way. From
Run mode, press S then choose a letter (slot). To store
Weather, Press W. To recall, press R.
ADD - For storing single sets of readings to an upload-
able file. Only available on the 610-DM. From the Run
mode, press “A”. You may store as many readings as you
like by pressing the A key repeatedly.
CAPTURE - For storing several consecutive readings to
an uploadable file. Only available on the 610-DM. Cap-
ture stores readings to a file as quickly as they come from
the sonde. From Run Mode press the C key to start Cap-
ture. Stop it by pressing C, Esc or Power.
MARK - For storing readings from many sites in a sin-
gle, uploadable file. Only available on the 610-DM.
•
The 610 stores all Marked data in a special file
named “marked”. The 610 stores a site number with
each set of readings, not a site name.
•
Only one weather entry is possible for the entire
marked file. You cannot enter different Weather data
for each site or for different days.
•
Before using the Mark feature, you must define pairs
of site names and site numbers in the Site List.
•
All sets of readings in the marked file must have the
same parameters.
•
To store marked data in a different file, rename the
current Marked file using 610 File System. The re-
named file still contains a Mark Number for each set
of readings. Additional marked data will be stored
in a new file named “marked”.
