The View Data menu allows you to view all the data in the selected file. Data is arranged
into labeled columns. Day-of-the-month and time are always the leftmost columns. Use
the four Arrow keys to view the data. Additionally, the 0-9 keys help you quickly
position yourself in large files: 0 moves to start of file, 9 to end of file, 1-8 part way
through file.
If the file is uploaded form a non-YSI logger, the data is shown using a text viewer
instead. The text viewer allows you to view a flat ASCII text file using the four Arrow
keys and the 0-9 keys.
To conserve memory, files uploaded from YSI sondes only contain measured data. Only
measured data is seen on the YSI 610, but when the file is uploaded into EcoWatch all
data and derived calculations will be available as usual.
SECTION 8 TECHNICAL INFORMATION
8.1 SOFTWARE UPDATES
YSI 610 software may be updated from time to time. This is simple since the 610 uses
non-volatile FLASH memory to hold the software. New 610 software can be installed by
using a PC. To update software all you need is a YSI 610 software update diskette from
YSI. Everything else you need comes with the standard 610 kit.
The 610 software update diskette contains two files used for update, and may contain
other files. The two files are AOUT.A03 that contains the new 610 software, and
LOAD4.EXE which is a PC program you run to send the new 610 software to the 610.
When loading new 610 software, the entire keyboard will appear to work incorrectly.
This is normal. Follow the instructions below carefully. If you type a wrong character,
hit the Skip key (which is a backspace).
8.2 LOADING NEW SOFTWARE
To load new YSI software into the 610, proceed carefully as follows:
1. Connect the 610 to a Personal Computer in the MS-DOS mode, using the Null
Modem cable (provided). This forms a 5-wire RS-232 connection. You must use the
COM1 RS-232 port of the PC.
2. Make sure there is no mouse on COM1 or COM3.
