YSI 610DM - Manual (Page 21)

YSI Incorporated Displays and Loggers 19
YSI PC software will interpret the Mark Number just like any other parameter. Viewing
the data in table format, you will see columns for each of the readings (Temperature, DO,
pH, etc.) and an extra column for the Mark Number. EcoWatch labels the column
“Unknown”. Both programs can easily print a report in table format.
If you plot the data, there will also be a plot of the site number. Furthermore, readings
from all sites will appear end to end as they are in the file. Plots may not be appropriate
for your application. If you prefer to use other analysis software, YSI software can
export the data in CDF or ASCII format.
Things to remember about the Mark feature:
!
The YSI 610 stores all Marked data in a special file named “marked”. The YSI 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 YSI 610
File System. The renamed file still contains a Mark Number for each set of readings.
Additional marked data will be stored in a new file named “marked”.
SECTION 7 YSI 610 MENU
To help you access the many features of the YSI 610, its features are grouped into menus.
Each menu has several items on it. An item can perform a function, such as deleting a
file, accepting and displaying information, entering the time, or providing access to a sub-
menu.
