YSI 610DM - Manual (Page 14)

YSI Incorporated Displays and Loggers 12
(4) The Logging Information screen tells
you how much space is available for
additional logging, and how much time this
corresponds to in Logging mode.
4.1 SETTING UP A SONDE FOR UNATTENDED LOGGING
The data logging discussed here refers to logging by the sonde into its own “sonde”
memory. This logging is completely separate from the YSI 610-DM Logging, Capture
and Add features which record data into the YSI 610-DM memory. The function of the
YSI 610 is to communicate with the sonde, to set logging parameters and to start or stop
the logging function. (Note that sondes without batteries must have an external power
source to log.)
To set up a sonde for logging, select Deploy Sonde from the Main menu.
The YSI 610 communicates with the Sonde
Main menu. Choose Run and then choose
Unattended Sample. Enter a file name and a
logging interval, then choose the last item on
the menu, Start logging. Finally, the sonde
asks for confirmation before actually starting
the logging run. Logging will begin at the
next even multiple of your logging interval.
Before starting, you should check Free Mem and Bat Life, to make sure that you have
the capacity to log for your intended deployment time. It is strongly recommended that
you log a few readings and view them before deploying the sonde. This will verify that
you have set it up properly.
SECTION 5 FILES
5.1 UPLOADING LOGGED FILES
Uploading a file from a sonde does not change the sonde files in any way. Only
formatting flash disk will delete files. To upload the data in a file, you do not need to
stop logging.
