7.1 RUN
You access the Run mode by selecting Run from the YSI 610 Main menu, or by
powering up the YSI 610 with a sonde already connected. In the Run mode, the YSI 610
constantly requests live data from the sonde and displays it on the screen. To go to the
YSI 610 Main menu from the Run mode, press Esc.
When 6 parameters or fewer are selected, data are displayed double-sized. If more than
12 parameters are selected, you may scroll to see all additional parameters.
Pressing H in Run mode displays the Help screen. The Help screen displays the special

WEATHER
Sometimes, it is useful to record local weather details during a field trip. The YSI 610
provides 26 handy Weather slots, each capable of holding a complete description of the
local weather. These slots are completely separate from the Weather information that is
attached to each file.
You enter or view the 26 Weather slots from the Run mode by pressing W and then a
letter A-Z. Slots are never erased, but can be edited as needed. When you make changes,
the Weather slots are automatically time-stamped. To quit the Weather slots without
making changes, power off the YSI 610 and power up again.
The Skip key advances you to the next-used Weather slot (in alphabetical order). The L
function reminds you what you have changed lately.
